Sorry for the late response on this topic, I was on vacation for two 
weeks. I've had much better results using the Solaris C compiler ('cc') 
as opposed to the C++ compiler, since these are .c files and expect some 
of the more permissive aspects of C. In fact, the version of bjam 
packaged with BB2M5 won't build at all using my version of CC (5.4 Patch 
111715-06), because of missing prototypes.

Therefore, I propose the following patches to change the default bjam 
compiler on Solaris from C++ compiler to the C compiler.
