I think, after trying oover and over for about five days that ppl can not be compiled on Solaris.

By chance, does Solaris define int8_t to be plain char (that is, not `signed char', just `char')?

That depends.

On Solaris 8 in /usr/include/sys/int_types.h we see :

I recall that you had a valid login into the Blastwave server stack and then you could see all this if needed.
