I've had problems building mpir in Sage, so downloaded the clean source, to try it outside. The setup is
Sun Ultra 27 - quad core 3.333 GHz Xeon. 12 GB RAM Open Solaris 06/2009 Sun Studio 12.1 First, the good news. 1) Configuring like this works $ export CC=/opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/cc $ export CXX=/opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/CC $ export CFLAGS=-m64 $ export CXXFLAGS=-m64 $ export ABI=32 $ configure $ make $ make check All tests pass. 2) Configuring similar to above, but adding the option --enable-cxx $ configure --enable-cxx Again no problem. (That option is used in Sage) 3) Now this is the problem arises if I try to be a bit clever with CXXFLAGS, and add the "-library=stlport4" option, which makes the C library more compatible with the latest ISO C++ standard (the default library is compatible with an older standard). http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/cmp_stlport_libCstd.html That's not used in Sage, but it will be necessary, otherwise PolyBoRi will not build. One can't mix the libraries - one has to use either the old standard or the new standard. It is obviously preferable to use the new standard, which needs the -library=stlport4 option. $ export CXXFLAGS="-m64 -library=stlport4" $ configure --enable-cxx Now the build fails, with: make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/mpir-1.2.2/cxx' /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=compile /opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/CC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMPXX -I.. -m64 -library=stlport4 -c -o isfuns.lo isfuns.cc mkdir .libs /opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/CC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMPXX -I.. -m64 -library=stlport4 -c isfuns.cc -KPIC -DPIC -o .libs/isfuns.o /opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/CC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMPXX -I.. -m64 -library=stlport4 -c isfuns.cc -o isfuns.o >/dev/null 2>&1 /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=compile /opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/CC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMPXX -I.. -m64 -library=stlport4 -c -o ismpf.lo ismpf.cc /opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/CC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMPXX -I.. -m64 -library=stlport4 -c ismpf.cc -KPIC -DPIC -o .libs/ismpf.o /opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/CC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMPXX -I.. -m64 -library=stlport4 -c ismpf.cc -o ismpf.o >/dev/null 2>&1 /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=compile /opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/CC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMPXX -I.. -m64 -library=stlport4 -c -o ismpq.lo ismpq.cc /opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/CC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMPXX -I.. -m64 -library=stlport4 -c ismpq.cc -KPIC -DPIC -o .libs/ismpq.o /opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/CC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMPXX -I.. -m64 -library=stlport4 -c ismpq.cc -o ismpq.o >/dev/null 2>&1 /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=compile /opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/CC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMPXX -I.. -m64 -library=stlport4 -c -o ismpz.lo ismpz.cc /opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/CC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMPXX -I.. -m64 -library=stlport4 -c ismpz.cc -KPIC -DPIC -o .libs/ismpz.o /opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/CC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMPXX -I.. -m64 -library=stlport4 -c ismpz.cc -o ismpz.o >/dev/null 2>&1 /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=compile /opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/CC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMPXX -I.. -m64 -library=stlport4 -c -o ismpznw.lo ismpznw.cc /opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/CC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMPXX -I.. -m64 -library=stlport4 -c ismpznw.cc -KPIC -DPIC -o .libs/ismpznw.o /opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/CC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMPXX -I.. -m64 -library=stlport4 -c ismpznw.cc -o ismpznw.o >/dev/null 2>&1 /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=compile /opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/CC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMPXX -I.. -m64 -library=stlport4 -c -o osdoprnti.lo osdoprnti.cc /opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/CC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMPXX -I.. -m64 -library=stlport4 -c osdoprnti.cc -KPIC -DPIC -o .libs/osdoprnti.o "../mpir.h", line 629: Error: va_list is not defined.

On the off-chance that error is not seen there, then I can create one on my Ultra 27, though the network will be slow, the machine is pretty quick.
