Fixed in 8.0.27.

MySQL now can be compiled using C++17. The following minimum version
requirements apply for compiler support:

* GCC 7.1 or Clang 5 (Linux)
* XCode 10 (macOS)
* GCC 10 (Solaris)
* Visual Studio 2019 Update 4 (Windows)

In particular, on Solaris, GCC is now the only supported compiler.
The code has been cleaned up to remove adaptations and workarounds
for Sun Studio, Oracle Studio, and SunPro.
