I think this is going in the wrong direction. Why isn't the code just

#if defined(SHM_SHARE_MMU)
/* use intimate shared memory on Solaris */
memAddress = shmat(shmid, 0, SHM_SHARE_MMU);
#else

If the symbol is available I think we probably want to use it. It is an
O/S issue, not a hardware issue, and so the test on __sparc__ seems
quite wrongheaded ...
