I was having problems with that on Solaris, too:

If I compile with `c99' or `-std=c99', the libc doesn't export
`snprintf' and `strerror_r' anymore.

If I set
  _POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112L
the libc complains that POSIX 2001 *must* be compiled with c99. Hooray
for standards!

I think I'll add a configure flag for something like a ‘maintainer mode’
or something, which will
 - enable all those standard-flags
 - add "-g -O0" to the CFLAGS
 - maybe change the default prefix to /tmp/collectd

If you or anybody else has any comments on how to handle standards
comformance, I'd love to here 'em :)

Regards,
-octo
