Technically, yes (it's the only difference between that version and
the version on my Debian box btw). However, wouldn't it just be to
hide a problem? I have set up the Solaris box to be as "standard" as
possible, and so gtk and other 3partly libs are installed from the
Blastwawe.org (http://www.blastwave.org) site, which is as far as I
know the most comprehensive collection of freeware for Solaris. I
imagine that if I locally modify the gtk.m4 file then curl will still
fail building for other people.
I can try to raise a bug report with blastwave though.
But isn't it strange that it doesn't fail on e.g. Irix, which has
exactly the same file as the Solaris version? Could the problem be
elsewhere?
