Yes, seems we could go a few directions with SunOS:

Leave bit types broken on that platform, document it
Hard-code in a memcmp() in C for just that platform in varbit.c
Add configure test and real memcmp() function for bad platforms

Anyone want to vote on these? Personally, SunOS seems like the
granddaddy of ports and I would hate to see it leave, especially when we
are so close.
