If you mean "does now", then yes, if you write non-portable code specific
to Solaris, using the interfaces in PSARC 2006/162, then you can get stdio
to open more than 256 FILEs at once. If you build 64-bit, code
using standard stdio syntax common to all platforms just works without
change to open > 256 FILEs.
