Aren't there additional linking flags for the networking libraries on
Solaris? Did the configure script and the related machinery work this
out, or was the select module disabled as a consequence of such things
not being discovered? It would surprise me somewhat that this still
needed manual adjustment given that this has always been the case with
Solaris.

I imagine that something failed to work as anticipated in the
configuration process.
