The entries in Makefile.global are
Makefile.global:USE_PERL= false
Makefile.global:PERL= perl

PERL= perl seems to be static (see Makefile.global.in)

Since in psql/Makefile only PERL but not USE_PERL is checked, perl will be
called always if sql_help.h is not present. But since sql-help.h is in the
distribution tarball this ist not really a problem.

pqFlush() fails because send() fails with the following parameters:

send(sock = 3, ptr = 4a320, len = 296, 0) => -1
errno = 22 (EINVAL)

The man pages sais that EINVAL may occure only in sendto() but not in
send()!!!
The parameters seem to be OK for me.
There is the same behaviour for UNIX domain and for TCP sockets.
????

BTW, configure picks up the wrong template solaris_sparc_gcc instead of
solaris_sparc_cc. But this is probably not the cause of the problem.

We don't really need Solaris support here. I only wanted to give it a try
due to the call for porting reports.

It seems to me that the Mailing lists hang again a little bit. I don't get
the mails back I have sent. Furthermore here is much less traffic as
usually.
