OK I missed that comment so the correct define is "_XOPEN_SOURCE 600"


The other package where c99 causes grief on Solaris is 
graphics/jasper.  The package itself builds with or 
without "USE_LANGUAGES=c99" but if its on then one of the public 
jasper headers pulls in <stdbool.h> which then requires any package 
that uses jasper to also explicitly set USE_LANGUAGES=c99.  This 
breaks ghostscript, netpbm and kdelibs at least.  The simplest fix in 
this case is to not set USE_LANGUAGES=c99 for Solaris.
