Whoa, not so fast. I’m not volunteering work on Solaris support ;-). There is
another user on BPO that works on Solaris stuff, see
https://bugs.python.org/issue41839 <https://bugs.python.org/issue41839>.
I have worked with Solaris (and other “classic” UNIX systems) in the past, but
haven’t do so in at least 15 years. For me “cross-platform” means macOS, RHEL
and Windows these days.
That said, I’m willing to review Solaris PRs (time permitting) but cannot test
if changes actually work.

That’s the BPO user I mentioned earlier :-)
P.S. Another platform to consider dropping is IRIX, I noticed in your PR that
there’s still some support for that platform in the code base and according to
wikipedia IRIX has been out of development for over 14 years
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRIX <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRIX>).
