Compilation aborted, too many Error messages.

See for instance:

How to repeat:
See pushbuild logs for sol10-sparc-a-max, for instance:

https://intranet.mysql.com/secure/pushbuild/getlog.pl?dir=bzr_mysql-6.0-falcon-team&entry=
Vladislav_Vaintroub_vvaintroub-20080822150300-1&name=build&plat=sol10-sparc-a

Sometimes the build fails with a timeout instead, which is probably a separate issue (see
Bug#32725). The timout has masked the error reported in this bug report.

This issue was probably introduced August 22nd in the mysql-6.0-falcon-team branch, the
same day Falcon was in fact enabled in SPARC builds in Pushbuild.

With CC 5.7 from Sun Studio 10 the compilation error is easy to reproduce. With CC 5.9
from Sun Studio 12 the code compiles without errors.

Omer, one comment about the triage: To fix this problem requires changes in the Falcon
code, not the environment. The problem only occurs with older versions of the Sun Studio
compiler (Sun CC 5.7 and 5.8) due to they being more strict than the latest version found
in Sun Studio 12 (Sun CC 5.9).

A patch for this bug has been committed. After review, it may
be pushed to the relevant source trees for release in the next
version. You can access the patch from:

      Bug#39181 Build error in MemoryManager.h in Pushbuild on sol10-sparc-a-max
      
      Fixed compilation error that occured with Sun Studio 10 (Sun CC 5.7) due to
      inclusion of gcc specific code.

A note has been added to the 6.0.8 changelog: 

Building MySQL with Falcon support using Sun Studio 10 would fail due to GNU CC specific
code within MemoryManager.h.
