When configured for a sparc, the symbol _POSIX_SOURCE gets defined
because SunOS 4.1 and up have POSIX_VERSION in their sys/unistd.h
header.  As a result, the definition of TIOCGWINSZ isn't gleaned when
ls.c includes sys/ioctl.h.  The resulting behavior is ls defaulting to
80 column output for `-C' et al., since the COLUMNS env variable isn't
defined by anything (e.g., bash).  Is there any clean way to get
around this?  I just commented out the offending code in configure
that sets _POSIX_SOURCE.
