wxGTK doesn't build in debug under Solaris 7 or 8 with CC5.0

[anonymous]

I am having a bit of a problem building wxGTK with CC 5.0. The same problem happens on Solaris 2.7 and 2.8.

Machine:

SunOS carmen 5.8 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-2

Compiler: Solaris CC v5.0
Glib version: 1.2.8
GTK version: 1.2.8
wxGTK version: 2.2.2

Glib configure:

./configure --prefix=/home/jiri/bin/sol/usr/locald --enable-debug=yes --enable-mem-check --enable-mem-profile

GTK+ configure:

./configure --prefix=/home/jiri/bin/sol/usr/locald --enable-debug=yes --enable-mem-check --enable-mem-profile

wxGTK configure:
./configure --prefix=/home/jiri/bin/sol/usr/locald --with-x --with-gtk --enable-

debug --enable-debug-flag --enable-debug-info --enable-mem-tracing

Compile error (see last line):

Please nuke this bug. This is most likely CC 5.0 issue.

After applying a number of CC 5.0 patches, wxGTK builds both in opt and debug. Builds on 2.7 and 2.8 machines.

I built following combinations:
Glib/Gtk + wxGTK

---

optimized + optimized
optimized + debug
debug + debug

Resulting executables built on 2.7 run on 2.7 and 2.8, executables built on 2.8 run on 2.8 and 2.7.

a quick fix is to not use mem tracing, of course

as for the real fix, we'd have to get CC 5.0 somewhere to test it

as it's not a serious problem (use dmalloc instead) this isn't likely to happen any time soon
