  if we can solve this as configure test, that's perfect IMHO.

  Hum, right that's not a direct call but ioctl :-)

  Hum, I reacted to the names which to me were register names, and then
I assumed this was arch specific, i.e. would generate problems say on PPC.
It seems your solaris code is x86_64 exclusively. In a linux section we
will need to take care of ppc, ia64 and i386 too. So thing like eax, ebx
ecx and edx looks suspicious to me.
