13300	boost stacktrace broken on solaris	dkimura@…	joseph.gauterin	"Solaris `dladdr` doesn’t match function signature of most platforms nor the signature expected in boost stacktrace sources.

Solaris: `int dladdr(void* addr, Dl_info* info);`[[br]]
Darwin: `int dladdr(const void* addr, Dl_info* info);`

This caused the following build errors on Solaris SPARC and Solaris X86.

{{{
location_from_symbol.hpp, line 31: Error: Cannot cast away const or volatile.
location_from_symbol.hpp, line 31: Error: Formal argument 1 of type void* in call to dladdr(void*, dl_info*) is being passed const void*.
frame_unwind.ipp, line 87: Error: Cannot cast away const or volatile.
frame_unwind.ipp, line 87: Error: Formal argument 1 of type void* in call to dladdr(void*, dl_info*) is being passed const void*const.
}}}

Following diff seems to fix this issue:
