This is a known bug in the Solaris compiler, and gnulib just ignores the
error.  This line from test-func.c is telling:

>   /* On SunPRO C 5.9, sizeof __func__ evaluates to 0.  The compiler warns:
>      "warning: null dimension: sizeof()".  */
> #if !defined __SUNPRO_C
>   ASSERT (strlen (__func__) + 1 == sizeof __func__);
> #endif

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
