Compiling with Sun's compiler under Solaris fails

[Moritz Borgmann]

I'm trying to compile the latest Octave 2.9.15 under Solaris 8 with 
Sun's compiler, but unfortunately it chokes on some of the C++ code. 
Any help would be appreciated, as my C++ skills are a bit rusty.

If I'm simply using the wrong compiler, flags, libraries, whatever, 
I'm also all ears.

Here's the environment I'm working in:
====
[mythen:~] moriborg% uname -a
SunOS  5.8 Generic_117350-39 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-1500
====

Here's some relevant environment variables I set before running 
configure. Don't get confused by the paths, we use a somewhat special 
setup here where most software lives under /usr/pack/. Also, I've 
compiled a number of packages like zlib, fftw in my own home.
