I guess the problem here is that Solaris 2.8 is not necessarily
compliant with "The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 6"/IEEE Std
1003.1-2001-conforming systems. But should it disqualify it as an host
platform?

On the other hand Solaris 2.8 does support <inttypes.h> which could do
the trick

getopt_long() is not part of any IEEE standard (AFAIK) and getopt.h is
not part of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001-conforming systems. This seems to be
very GNU specific and not part of Solaris base system (so far).
