I can reproduce that it works in your build (with the obvious "cd _build“ 
missing).

I build to package with the OpenCSW „Gar“ build system. This sets a lot of 
flags and parameters -
the relevant one here was one to restrict the libc version by using a linker 
map to a somewhat
older release so the package could be used on older Solaris 10 maintenance 
releases. This
conflicted with asprintf and vasprintf as these functions are only introduced 
in the most recent
libc of Solaris 10. I now fixed the issue by removing the usage of this linker 
map to
reduce libc release level.

So everything was fine on your side, sorry for the noise!


Best regards
