Hi. I set up Solaris 10/OpenSolaris VMs and spent some time to see what
is the best way to fix this issue. As the cpantesters is not fully
recovered at the moment, I don't know what other testers do, but in
both cases I got various errors and ended up installing gcc, which, of
course, doesn't complain about the "-O2".
The easiest fix for your report should be to remove -O2 flag if $^O
equals to 'solaris', but I'm not sure if it makes things better (than,
for example, to recommend people to use gcc).
Thoughts?
