Just to confirm, there are multiple stacked issues here:
a.) The build uses /lib/cpp for parts of the install, but bare /lib/cpp
chokes on some included system headers (since ISA-specific defines
aren't set up.
b.) hand-tweaking this to use cc -E also fails because the build uses
gcc-specific hackery to control the visibility of symbols; the
result, when built with solstudio12.2 cc, is a library which builds
and installs fine, but exports none of the intended symbols (and
thus is not usable by dependent packages).
This _probably_ works fine for gcc users. It doesn't work (and thus
makes big chunks of pkgsrc unavailable) for SunOS / sun cc.
I don't know if building just this package with gcc would do the trick;
historically Solaris/sparc has had API differences between gcc anc cc,
but I don't know about x86.
