My guess is IIRC SunOS was on Solaris 8 by 2001, and it was *the* 
grown-up 64-bit unix: every other unix vendor's keeled over or was about 
to and x86_64 didn't exist. So it was a standard utility on the standard 
unix by the time when posix decided in 2001 The Standard Shall Be That 
Other Thing. Good thing about standards, as we all know, is there's 
plenty to choose from.
