You could take this opportunity to migrate away from solaris? :)

Mm that's going to be fun.

From previous notes/rants, you need to define -D_XOPEN_SOURCE to match the C standard used.

Ok. Well, you're welcome to write a patch to check for -isystem to enable/disable it. Or use gcc/clang.

Hm. Fixed that. It's being extra picky.

>      With GCC I do not have this issue, but I end up in the problem that gcc does not know the -KPIC option,

Solaris is a complete pain to build on. I managed to do with with the ldap module disabled.
