Also, I sent an email about removing the SUNPRO C version checks, but it
seems
like it was never delivered:
"
Why not also drop the SUNPRO_C version check?
# if defined(__GNUC__) || defined(__SUNPRO_C)
I downloaded SunStudio 12 (circa 2007) and __SUNPRO_C is set to 0x590.
If we drop support for GCC 4.1 (2007), might as well drop older sun
compilers.
