Description:
For Sun Studio we must build with -std=c++03
We must also remove this hack
#define __attribute__(x)
Since Sun Studio depends on seeing __attribute__ ((__weakref__))
in order to generate correct code.

How to repeat:
Try building with stlport or stdcxx4, no longer works.

Suggested fix:
Introduce MY_ATTRIBUTE:
sed -i -e 's/__attribute__/MY_ATTRIBUTE/g' `cat <all srouce files>`

Noted in 5.8.0 changelog.

MySQL did not compile under Solaris 12 using Sun Studio. To correct
this, instances of __attribute__ were changed to MY_ATTRIBUTE.
