NO!!! NO!!! NO!!! NO!!! NO!!! NO!!!   I had to fix just that sort of crap
to get both GNU & Lucid Emacs to build on my 486 PC running Solaris x86.

Not many people run it now, but judging from the early access version of
2.4 I have, it will become a lot more common once 2.4 is out.  I also
hear Solaris will run on PowerPCs one day.
