A couple of possible ideas:
- stick to just the common interfaces, and avoid those that are
either Solaris-specific or Linux-specific.
- isolate the platform-specific bits in separate files or via
ifdefs.
As I said, I don't think you'll find a forkall() replacement on Linux.
As best I understand it, they have fork1() semantics only.
I don't think it's really a goal for most Solaris developers to make
porting Solaris applications to Linux "easy." Going the other
direction is more interesting.

No idea. Perhaps comp.unix.programmer?
