That's insane! :-)

The libraries included with Solaris/OI/OS work fine, and can be used fine from C++ apps built with the right flags.

You need to pass everything from -compat=... to CC for each file during the build. You might have to do that by setting CXXFLAGS or something like that when running configure. This is normal how-to-persuade-gnu-stuff-to-build isn't it?

Or did you mean something else?
