I even think that Forte 11 was one of the first who supported C99 in the
first place.  However my intention is the following: I build git on
Solaris 5.8 because it works on any system that is 5.8 or higher (5.9,
5.10 and the upcomming 5.11). Good in theory. But not in practice since
they bumped the perl version (I did not thought of that before). With
high probability I could work around that. But at the moment I don't
care that much because I have a build host for every major release of
Solaris and I don't use the perl part of git not that much. However
having git on Solaris is a real pleasure. Together with sudo and vim.
