I didn't tackle it yet, but I guess _XOPEN_SOURCE definitions in the software 
should be patched away - for C++ code. My question I guess is if this is safe 
to do across the platforms, or should be only done on SunOS?

I decided to build 2011Q3 with GCC 4.5.2 for now, to isolate all the breakage 
introduced in this branch (on our SmartOS platform), then revisit GCC 4.6.x 
again.
