Configuration:
-------------
+ - Fixed POSIX problems when building w/ gcc on Solaris
+
+ When building on Solaris using gcc, the POSIX symbols were not
+ being set correctly, which could lead to issues like clock_gettime()
+ not being found.
+
+ The standard is now set to gnu99 when building with gcc on Solaris,
+ which allows POSIX things to be #defined and linked correctly. This
+ differs slightly from the gcc norm, where we set the standard to c99
+ and manually set POSIX #define symbols.

- Added a configure-time option to consider certain compiler warnings
