I see, but why don't you do the same for drill (and pcat)?  Actually,
this looks a bit magic to me, because the outcome of the individual
checks appears to depend on their order.  You probably chose it
according to the conflicts you have found on these particular systems.

Solaris 9 doesn't support POSIX.1-2001 or XPG6 (SUSv3 or whatever) at
all, AFAIK.  It's clear, though, that c89 is in conflict with
-D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112.  Whether you need the compiler flag or not
depends on the default, of course.  I'm surprised if Solaris 10 really
accepts this combination.

Well, I'm no expert on this, so if what I'm saying doesn't make much
sense, feel free to ignore it :-)
