[tlbuild] Solaris fails to process asy's Makefile

[John Bowman]

Hi Mojca,
You should definitely compile with gcc (it doesn't have to be the latest
release) to avoid all of these issues. In any case, -ansi is added at line
11 of configure.ac. But compilation is currently only supported for the gcc
and clang compilers due to the kinds of issues you report.
