RE: binutils 2.25 dwarf.c error during compile on Solaris 10 with SunStudio12.

[JONES, BILL]

Defining CFLAGS="-xc99 $CFLAGS" for all binutils causes other issues for other 
parts of binutils package.

#if __STDC_VERSION__ >= 199901L || (defined(__GNUC__) && __GNUC__ >= 2)
/* We can't use any bfd types here since readelf may define BFD64 and
   objdump may not.  */
#define HOST_WIDEST_INT long long
#else
#define HOST_WIDEST_INT long
#endif
typedef unsigned HOST_WIDEST_INT elf_vma;

This code block is specifically looking for C99 or GNU C which to determine how 
to make a uint64_t happen for HOST_WIDEST_INT

This is causing a conflict.

Alan,

Thanks for the clue.

In SunStudio12, to use C99, you have to have "-xc99" in the CFLAGS.  I am 
wondering if binutils has this restriction for C99, why configure is not 
catching this.

dwarf_vma on your system is only a 32-bit type.  Investigate why this
is so.
