I tend to agree with this standpoint: if it's only a warning, and
it only appears in a small range of not-up-to-date Solaris builds,
then a reasonable approach is "update your system if you don't want
to see the warning".

A positive argument for doing nothing is that there's room to worry
whether -D__STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT1__ might have any side-effects we
*don't* want.
