Great, then I can fix the sources so that they build also on Solaris.

Did you have to use _both_? The idea of --enable-slow-config is that,
since ECL will grab the flags which are used by the bignum library, it
will build itself in 64 bits mode.

Thanks, that is really appreciated. Your change is ok with me. I have
provided similar hacks for other platforms, such as Windows, which do
not have all the C99 mathematical functions and macros. The ideal
place for that right now is in src/c/config.h, at the end. So probably
you only have to complete the #if statement with the appropriate
check. Can you try that? If it works, please send me back a patch file
so that I can commit the change.
