Hi,

Tried to build dovecot-2.3.4 on Solaris 11 x86 and it fails at configure part. I just went checked and it last version it works on is v2.3.2.1

does work just fine on my solaris 11 x86 box.

What is your Solaris release and which version of gcc you are using?

my test system is solaris 11.3 and I have gcc 4.5.2.
