[Gmsh] error when compiling under Solaris 8

[OSHIMA Takuya]

Hi,

I had a very similar error when compiling gmsh-2.0.7 on Windows with
--enable-cygwin. In my case the problematic symbol was "_L," which
seems to have been defined somewhere in an unidentified Cygwin system
header file, and the following quick fix worked.
