Never mind. I identified the problem. Solaris defines _L, _S, etc.
macros in some libc header files. So the _L, _S in my code was
replaced with some constants after preprocessing. This is a legacy
problem with Solaris library, not the code.
Same problem exists for ports of cygwin, and possibly OS X.
