Description:
When trying to compile MySQL 6.0 with Falcon using Sun Studio compiler on Solaris 8 on an
x86 machine, the following compile error occurs:

/opt/studio12/SUNWspro/bin/CC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_REENTRANT -D_PTHREADS -DFALCONDB
-DSTORAGE_ENGINE -DNAMESPACE=Nfs -I. -I../../include  -I../../include -I../../regex
-I../../sql -I./TransformLib -I../../zlib    -g  -DSAFE_MUTEX -m32 -mt  
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DHAVE_CURSES_H
-I/home/os136802/mysql/develop/repo/falcon-sol8-x86/include -DHAVE_RWLOCK_T
-features=except -D_DEBUG -c -o BackLog.o BackLog.cpp
"MemoryManager.h", line 51: Warning (Anachronism): The prior declaration for operator

"Interlock.h", line 159: Error: #error inline_cas not defined for this platform.
make[3]: *** [BackLog.o] Error 1

How to repeat:
Compile MySQL 6.0 using Sun Studio 12 on a x86 machine running Solaris 8.

Suggested fix:
Either make the compile succeed or disable support for Falcon on Solaris 8 on x86.

Possible work-around for this problem:

Use gcc instead of Sun Studio compiler.

another possible workaround: officially remove Solaris 8 from the list of supported
platforms and from PB2:)

Olav, can we just close this? It appears that Sol8 is not a supported platform and the
only pb2 branches configured to run solaris 8 tests are mysql-5.0 and mysql-5.1
(mysql-6.0 still has some old results listed).
[29 Sep 9:03] Olav Sandstaa 
Daniel, I agree with you. This can be closed as there are no PB2 test running on this
platform longer and Solaris 8 is not intended to be a supported platform for Falcon. I am
changing the status to "Won't fix". If that is not the right status feel free to change
it.
