Solaris gcc problems (Re: [AGENT++] Compilation Error)

I've attached a patch for address.cpp to use the gethostbyname_r and 
gethostbyaddr_r functions as defined in 
http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/816-0214/6m6nf1omt?a=view
To use this code you have to define SUN_GCC.

As I would like to define SUN_GCC (or some better name) automatically: 
Does anyone have a Solaris system with gcc where SUN_GCC must not be 
defined?

 > address.cpp:730: `gethostbyname2_r' undeclared (first use this function)

If you don't want to use IPv6 you can undefine SNMP_PP_IPv6 in 
config_snmp_pp.h.

Does anyone have gethostbyname2_r on a Sun Solaris system? If not I will 
have to change address.cpp.

Regards,
   Jochen
