Just for future reference, you can instead say:

	./configure CC=cc CXX=CC CFLAGS='stuff' --with-my-flags

That avoids polluting your environment with settings you need for just  
that one call.

This is just pedantry, not indicative of a real problem.  But, it's  
simple enough to squish.  If you would, add this to the bottom of  
TCPConnection's declaration in lib/tcp_connection.h:

private:
     /// \brief Explicitly override parent class version so we don't get
     /// complaints about hidden overloads with some compilers
     bool connect(const char* db, const char* server,
             const char* user, const char* password,
             unsigned int port);

When you recompile, that warning should go away.  If it does, let me  
know so I can check the change in.  I'm relying on you because none of  
the compilers I have here give this warning.

What, a template can't instantiate a template?  That's lame...

I'm not sure how to work around this.  It might be simplest to just  
ifdef it out, or something.  Can you get us a good predefined macro  
for Solaris CC so we can test for its existence and thereby stub out  
these tests?
