Hmmm.  Here's a potential problem for us Solaris users.  From the BIND
9.1.1 README:  "Building with gcc is not supported, unless gcc is the
vendor's usual compiler (e.g. the various BSD systems, Linux)."

Kicking into skeptic mode I tried it anyway, using "configure
--disable-threads" as recommended in README for Solaris 2.6, then "make".
I got a few apparently minor warnings (see below), but otherwise it seemed
to compile fine.

file.c:108: warning: implicit declaration of function `utimes'
confparser.c:2102: warning: missing braces around initializer for
   `dns__yytoks[0]'
confparser.c:3159: warning: label `yyerrlab' defined but not used
confparser.c:2949: warning: label `yynewstate' defined but not used
rbt.c:1312: warning: suggest explicit braces to avoid ambiguous `else'
rbt.c:1544: warning: suggest explicit braces to avoid ambiguous `else'

I don't have the luxury of a non-production machine to test this on.  Is
there anything here I need to worry about?
