Peace, but I do not share this opinion though ;-). I remember having troubles
with _trivial_ things like:
printf("The Absolute Zero is: %5.5lf°[C] or 0°[K]!\n", ABSZ);
° is not accepted by solaris 9 libc printf function. I haven't bother to check
that out on a recent OpenSolaris distribution though, since fortunately we
have not been locked to any legacy proprietary binaries and the development
machines have been easily debianized.
