Thanks, I think I'm on top of this now, and have submitted some PR's to 
fix the main issues.

For the record, as of Solaris Studio 12.4 there are 4 options:

* C++03 mode, default std lib - a broken Rogue Wave version, this is the 
default.
* C++03 mode, STLport.  Requires -library=stlport4
* C++03 mode, Apache std lib. Requires -library=stdcxx4
* C++11 mode, GNU libstdc++, used when -std=c++11 is passed to the compiler.

John.
