Linux headers are gcc-specific Linux header files (actually glibc headers) don't get much testing with compilers other than gcc, especially in the C++ area.  When you try to use the Sun Studio compilers on Linux you can get some problems.  Here is one example from the forums. I filed a bug a while back which was fixed, but it will take time to become available in all your favorite distributions. Posted by Chris Quenelle ( Apr 24 2006, 03:51:30 PM PDT ) - Permalink - -
