Common problems I've hit with X.Org packages, off the top of my head:
- gcc assumptions, though Studio 12 with -features=extensions allows
some of those to work now
Other fixes I keep having to patch in/workaround
gcc __FUNCTION__ (replace with c99 __func__)
gcc __attributes__
gcc inline asm()
gcc MMX/SSE intrinsic functions not compatible with Studio versions
gcc -Wall (convert to cc -v if __SUNPRO_C is defined)
- missing libc functions, including strsep, strcasestr, asprintf
(though some have been added in recent builds, more should be coming)
- sprintf("%s", NULL) segfaults on Solaris, works fine on BSD/Linux
(being fixed by 6724478)
