no that does not work, Xlib.h for instance contains declertions similar
to 

extern XWindowEvent(
#if NeedFunctionPrototypes
    Display*            /* display */,
    Window              /* w */,
    long                /* event_mask */,
    XEvent*             /* event_return */
#endif
);

such "implicit int" type declertions are forbidden by the ANSI C++
standard, and gcc-2.95.1 will reject it as such without -fpermissive. 
Perhaps Sun has patched versions of these headers that all have proper
declerations but I have not had a chance to look.
