Compilation Bug (Solaris 9, Snort 2.0.0, Sun CC)

["Roy S. Rapoport" <snort-users () ols inorganic org>]

A casual search of the mailing list did not reveal a previous report of
this problem.

Out of the box, snort compiles w/o problems using gcc (3.2.2) on my
Solaris 9 box.  However, given that SunCC usually produces faster
binaries, I attempted to compile with it, only to encounter

The important error there relates to __FUNCTION__, and specifically
these lines in sp_pattern_match.c:
---
#ifdef WIN32
#define __FUNCTION__ "SetUseDoePtr"
#endif 
        LogMessage("%s: No pattern match data found\n", __FUNCTION__);
#ifdef WIN32
#undef __FUNCTION__
#endif 
---

Unfortunately, SunCC doesn't have a __FUNCTION__ macro either.  Removing
the #ifdef/#endif lines and leaving jus 
#define __FUNCTION__ "SetUseDoePtr"

allowed me to continue compiling to this point:

Which is where I'm stuck right now.  Suggestions that aren't "use gcc"?
