I didn't even know you could patch 5.8 enough to use that
compiler version.  I can't imagine what strange combinations of
C89 and C99 features are available.

Luckily for me, I no longer have easy access to Solaris <9.

At some point, the crazy patch combinations need relegated to
each particular site's config.mak.  Solaris 8 has entered the
first "retirement phase", but new orders can include it for about
another month:
