177141 - CC doesn't like -xbuiltin=%all

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Danek Duvall]

With the fix for bug 149154, the build breaks on Solaris 9 with the Forte
compilers (version 6, update 1):

CC -I/usr/openwin/include -xbuiltin=%all -mt  -DNDEBUG -DTRIMMED  -G -Qoption ld
-z,muldefs -h libmozz.so -o libmozz.so  adler32.o crc32.o compress.o uncompr.o defl
ate.o trees.o gzio.o zutil.o inflate.o infblock.o inftrees.o infcodes.o
infutil.o inffast.o    -xildoff -zlazyload -zcombreloc    -lsocket -ldl -lm    
CC: Warning: Option -xbuiltin=%all passed to ld, if ld is invoked, ignored otherwise
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: illegal option -- x

-xbuiltin doesn't appear in the man page for CC (though it does for cc).

Sorry, as of last month, our minimal supported Forte compiler version is Forte 6
Update 2. See news://news.mozilla.org:119/an2obu$[e-mail]

Roland, can you provide a link for the 6U2 patches?

Sure, the URL is http://access1.sun.com/sundev/

... but I am not sure if there are patches to upgrade from 6U1 to 6U2, you have
to deinstall the old and install the new version AFAIK (the upgrade from 6U1 to
6U2 is _free_ AFAIK - go and hunt your system admin... :) ...

Thanks.  I ended up upgrading to 7.0, and it worked just fine.  Any chance that
the configure script could check the compiler version and bomb with a useful
error message?  Should I file an RFE for that?
