Hi Paul,

thanks for the quick answer!

The problem is if one test fails our package system will not install. As a 
workaround
I can disable the testsuite as a whole but would prefer not to. Do you see a 
chance
of fixing this in gnulib?

I tried adding -D_STDC_C99 to CPPFLAGS and I get compile errors at a different 
place:

/bin/bash ./libtool  --tag=CXX   --mode=compile /opt/SUNWspro/bin/CC 
-DIN_LIBASPRINTF -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.   -D_STDC_C99= -I/opt/csw/include  -xO3 
-m32 -xarch=sparc -c -o autosprintf.lo autosprintf.cc

-D_STDC_C99= -I/opt/csw/include -xO3 -m32 -xarch=sparc -c autosprintf.cc  -KPIC

Did you also try the Sun Studio 12 compiler?
