I think the patch makes sense as neither Solaris 8, 9 nor 10 supports 
mkdtemp().

Can we also unify UNSETENV, SETENV, C99_FORMAT and STRTOUMAX, by the 
way?

No.

I've just checked on our Solaris Sparc systems, and found that the 
C-library provides unsetenv(), setenv() and strtoumax() beginning with 
Solaris 10; also the 'man sprintf' page mentions the 'z' and 't' 
specifiers for printf (which is what is behind C99_FORMAT) only beginning 
with Solaris 10.

So workarounds are needed for all 4 cases for Solaris 8 and 9 but not 10.
