What should I check for? What should I need on each version of Solaris that
exists out there? There is no way to treat that platform in a portable way
if that is waht you mean. It is not portable at all what the solaris people
opted for (having a separate library for sockets and also other libraries I
do not even know what for), and it is also not portable their changes among
OS releases. Autoconf does not help here: one would have to hardcode the
knowledge of which libraries are needed and which are not.

I do not understand these concerns: libdl is mandated for dlopen and libm is
needed for all the mathematical functions. I think your developers are being
overzealous about this.
