Summary: clean up Solaris port and allow C99 extension modules
Initial Comment:
I wanted to build a Python extension module written in C99, but Solaris's
headers ("sys/feature_test.h") declare that you can't have an XPG 4.2
application using C99.
Investigating led me eventually to Solaris hacker John Levon, who kindly
pointed out to me that in the Sun-maintained port of Python, they use a perl
script to strip out _XOPEN_SOURCE, _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, and _POSIX_SOURCE
from pyconfig.h:

(See lines 123-125.)
The attached patch accomplishes the same goal more cleanly by changing the
contents of configure.in. With this patch, I can now build python trunk and
release25-maint and also build a C99 extension module:

This patch might also impact "[ 1306253 ] Python 2.4.2c1 fails to build on
64-bit Solaris 10":

I think perhaps this patch should supercede the patch mentioned in "[ 1116722 ]
Solaris 10 fails to compile complexobject.c [FIX incl.]":
