[rrd-users] Getting RRDTool To Compile on Solaris 8

I have been having a heck of a time getting RRDTool to compile on
Solaris 8. I have found this problem referenced in the list archive,
but no solution was given. When I run configure, I get:

I have tried both gcc-3.3.2 and gcc-3.4.2 right off sunfreeware.com
(using the full versions, not the 'small' versions on sunfreeware).
We can compile other stuff fine (e.g., speedy_cgi for Smokeping). I
believe we have the base Solaris packages that are required for
compiling (SUNWbtool, SUNWsprot, SUNWtoo, SUNWhea, SUNWarc, SUNWlibm,
SUNWlibms, SUNWdfbh, SUNWcg6h, SUNWxwinc, SUNWolinc, etc.).

Below is a section of the config.log file where the "IEEE math" checks begin.

If anyone has some suggestions, that would be great!

Thanks!

I am able to run 1.0.49 by using the binary on sunfreeware.com -- but
I have a requirement for RRDTool 1.2. Anyone know if sunfreeware will
update their build to v1.2 anytime soon?
