I don't understand this. If there are people who care, and write code
that works on all systems

Cool, thanks!

Here's the platform and compiler information:

The VLC version I'm building is from git://git.videolan.org/vlc.git,
the master branch. I'm building with GCC, I expect the sunpro build to
be more difficult, and I don't want to get into discussions about
broken compilers.
