OK, I've left the reference to OpenSolaris in the attached patch to imply
the OpenSolaris derivatives.

Thanks. I belive PostgreSQL runs successfully on Solaris 10 and later,
because the binaries are published on the community site:

http://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/binary/v9.3beta2/solaris/

And I could build PostgreSQL 9.2.4 from source code and completed regression
test on Solaris 10. In addition, EnterpriseDB supports their product on
Solaris, don't they?

I appreciate it if you could commit this patch.
