I can confirm the problem is fixed on Solaris, but I had trouble
bootstrapping this week's snapshot on sparc, so I only got to that
point on a Solaris/x86 system, but I had got that problem on
Solaris/x86 before just the same as Solaris/sparc. Thanks a lot for
beating me to it :-)
On a related line: on Solaris 2.5/sparc, I could get to building
libjava's C++ sources, and building java/lang/natClassLoader.cc failed
because it calls snprintf(), that's only available on Solaris 2.6 and
newer. Do we care? Do we have a fallback for snprintf(), whose
declaration should have been supplied by a header file that failed to
be included by java/lang/natClassLoader.cc?
