SunOS sun-install 5.9 Generic_122300-12 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240
>Description:
When you try to build devel/glib2 on Solaris 5.9 using the SUNPro Compiler it fails in the configure phase when a test binary is compiled.

checking for Mac OS X Carbon support... checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking for sparc-sun-solaris2-gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
*** Error code 77

config.log shows the following problem:

Further investigation showed that the flag "-xc99" for the sunpro compiler is not available on SunOS 5.9 (as stated above), however "-xc99=no_lib" would be a supported option to exclude libraries. The other choice would be "all" which is the default if this flag has been set.

>How-To-Repeat:
build devel/glib2 on SunOS 5.9 with SunPro compiler
>Fix:
The problem came into pkgsrc when someone set -xc99 generally in mk/compiler/sunpro.mk:

# XXX: What if a package needs both -- a c89 and a c99 compiler?
.if !empty(USE_LANGUAGES:Mc99)
_WRAP_EXTRA_ARGS.CC+=   -xc99
.endif


a correct patch would be to exclude SunOS 5.9 from this setting. This is the patch for it:
