On Solaris 10, with the Sun Studio 11 'CC' (a.k.a. SunPRO C++),
I see this compilation error:

4 Error(s) detected.
What's happening is:
* The module 'stack-trace' is in use. It ought to declare the
print_stack_trace() function in stdlib.h.
* stdlib.h is included twice:
- from unistd.h, with __need_system_stdlib_h defined,
- then from macros.h, with __need_system_stdlib_h no longer defined.
* "CC -E -H" shows the list of includes, and it is clear that the
'#include <stdlib.h>' from tests/macros.h is ineffective because there
was already a '#include <stdlib.h>' earlier.
(The same effect does not happen always. For example, ../gllib/sys/types.h
is included many times.)
So, we have to make sure that the first '#include <stdlib.h>' already
includes the entire file, including the 'print_stack_trace' declaration.
