It's not only Solaris 8 which lacks it. I'm updating the doc.

Also, I prefer not to libel a particular compiler as "broken". If we label
every compiler or platform which has a bug as "broken", not only every system
will have to count as broken, but also our source code will be full of
insulting words.
