the question if it is appear only on older S10 updates or on all. You
can try apply xml patches on S10U3 and try it again.

Yeah, I hit this problem as well. At this moment some build machine uses
old SS12 version and some new one (I tested it with old compiler
version), but next month all is going to switch to the latest one. I
need it fixed asap, else new pgAdmin will be removed from Solaris :(.
See http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/10660

The problem is with _T macro which has conflict with STL. something like
#undef _T in pgAdmin sources should help. I will look on it and I hope
send patch soon.

Probably not if you have new compiler :(.

I guess that Solaris 9 only bug is mostly GTK problem on Solaris 9 not
Sparc specific, but who knows.

Hmm, I don't know how often it is regenerated. I guess that it should
appear soon.
