Hum... See http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5168/6mbb3hrti?a=view
It looks like Solaris 10 at least does have strerror_r.
A quick check on some development machines suggests that Solaris 9 does not. In areas in which I've worked, most systems have not upgraded to Solaris 10.
Are you really using 2.8? How old is that?
I can't speak for Glenn, but many places are using 2.8 or earlier versions; Sun tends to provide support for quite some time. -- James
