Not exaclty the same, but,

a loong while ago I had same problems, using same gcc version on a
Solaris 8 (sparc) and a Linux RH 8 ( I know, as I said)
The sintax differences were all missing new line between declarations,
If I remmebrer correctly.

I eneded p writing under Linux and recompiling unde Solaris where it
didn't make a diffference.
