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.
