Hhmmm, I am starting to see a potential pattern here. I will look into
the Solaris 9 failure later on today, and since it *lacks* a stdint.h
the *system* isn't C99 conform. I have been contemplating a while to
switch to Solaris 10 as primary development platform for the Solaris
port because it is much nicer in that regard. The main reason so far
is that I haven't build a proper toolchain on the Solaris 10/Sparc box
yet, but maybe it is time to do so. My Solaris 10U4/AMD 64 box has
some really, really odd linker bugs that I managed to work around, but
I might wait for 10U5 for Sun to fix them properly ;)

I am not sure how much gmp 4.2.2 will fix this, but when I got Sage
2.8.15 to run with gcc 4.3 I had to do some fairly hackish things to
gmp.h. I would highly suggest revisiting the issue on 2.9.1 where I
plan to update Sage's gmp to 4.2.2 since finally all the licensing
issues will be taken care of.
