Follow-up Comment #7:

I am working with the original reporter of this problem (Tatsuro, no more need
to copy messages back and forth, but thanks for your help so far!) I can
confirm that this function overload is invalid because of what I suspected,
that on Sparc Solaris the int8_t is defined to be "char" instead of "signed
char". On Linux, both are signed, but they are distinct types in the C++
language so they can be safely overloaded.

The quickest way I can see around this is to not compile that particular
overload.

This particular overload was added to fix bug #42054 (see changeset
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/37c300acfcfd). Is there a
different way to solve the original problem without this problematic
overload?

Updating bug meta info.
