GCC 4.9 build on Solaris 10 shows these warnings about isinf:
float.c: In function 'is_infinite':
float.c:178:2: warning: implicit declaration of function 'isinf'

Ugh.

isinf declaration is in <iso/math_c99.h> which is included by <math.h>,
but it's surrounded by #if defined(_STDC_C99) || _XOPEN_SOURCE - 0 >=
600 || defined(__C99FEATURES__).  A couple of quick Google searches
suggests that some other projects have worked around this by always
defining __C99FEATURES__ even if compiling in C89 mode.  __C99FEATURES__
is only used by math.h and fenv.h in /usr/include.

Should we just add -D__C99FEATURES__ to CPPFLAGS in
src/template/solaris, add our own declaration of isinf() or do something
else about the warning?

I'm worried that __C99FEATURES__ might do other, not-so-C89-compatible
things in later Solaris releases.  Possibly that risk could be addressed
by having src/template/solaris make an OS version check before adding the
switch, but it'd be a bit painful probably.

Based on the #if you show, I'd be more inclined to think about defining
_XOPEN_SOURCE to get the result.  There is precedent for that in
src/template/hpux which does
        CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED"
I forget what-all _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED enables exactly, but if memory
serves there were a nontrivial number of now-considered-standard features
turned on by that in ancient HPUX releases.  If you want to pursue this
route, you'd need to do a bit of digging to see what else _XOPEN_SOURCE
controls in Solaris and if there is some front-end feature macro (like
_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED) that you're supposed to set instead of touching
it directly.

Looking at standards(5) and /usr/include/sys/feature_tests.h it looks like _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED enables XPG4v2 environment. _XOPEN_SOURCE=600 enables XPG6, but feature_tests.h also has this bit:

/*
 * It is invalid to compile an XPG3, XPG4, XPG4v2, or XPG5 application
 * using c99.  The same is true for POSIX.1-1990, POSIX.2-1992, POSIX.1b,
 * and POSIX.1c applications. Likewise, it is invalid to compile an XPG6
 * or a POSIX.1-2001 application with anything other than a c99 or later
 * compiler.  Therefore, we force an error in both cases.
 */

so to enable XPG6 we'd need to use C99 mode anyway. Could we just use -std=gnu99 (with -fgnu89-inline if required) with GCC on Solaris? ISTM it would be cleaner to just properly enable c99 mode rather than define an undocumented macro to use a couple of c99 declarations.
