Until this commit a simple 'make prefix=...' worked just fine. Now I
have to explicitly add '-std=c99' to the gcc commandline. Is there a
reason why the makefile doesn't add this switch automatically?
An extended "Solaris updates" series has been cooking in 'next' branch, I
think, and does things a bit differently.
4cb18a4 (git-compat-util.h: tweak the way _XOPEN_SOURCE is set on Solaris,
2009-06-05) sets _XOPEN_SOURCE to 500 if you are not compiling with c99.
