Hi,

regarding to the `why the same source code compiles differently on different system`
I think the main cause is the architectural differences between the systems. Integrating a gnu utility into a new operating system, may be difficult, and sometimes you should limit the utility capabilities in order to integrate into your os....

In the past I also faced your problem, an I also wondered why the basic command syntaxes are so different... My final conclusion is that every OS is a different OS, even that they are kindred... Different OS, different commands...

regards

adb

adb(1)								   User Commands							    adb(1)

NAME

       adb - general-purpose debugger

SYNOPSIS

       adb [-kw] [-I dir] [-P prompt] [-V mode] [object [core]]

DESCRIPTION

       The  adb utility is an interactive, general-purpose debugger. It can be used to examine files and provides a controlled environment for the
       execution of programs.

       The adb utility is now implemented as a link to the mdb(1) utility. mdb(1) is a low-level debugging utility that can  be  used  to  examine
       user  processes	as  well  as the live operating system or operating system crash dumps. The new mdb(1) utility provides complete backwards
       compatibility with the existing syntax and features of adb, including support for processing adb macro files. The Solaris Modular  Debugger
       Guide  and mdb(1) man page describes the features of mdb, including its adb compatibility mode. This mode will be activated by default when
       the adb link is executed.
