I managed to compile 2.1.31 on Solaris.   I remember having problems
like this.   I am a bit fogy on whether or not this was the only thing I
did but I have commented out a piece of code on the top of
liboctave/oct-times.cc that looks like this:

#if !defined (_XOPEN_SOURCE)
#define _XOPEN_SOURCE 1
#define OCTAVE_UNDEFINE_XOPEN_SOURCE
#endif

So, comment this out and I think it will work.   If not let me know and
I will look into what I did more closely.
