It looks like Solaris 9 has this included in a libc patch:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?doc=fpatches/112874
However I think the solution chosen by the Postgresql developers -
using qsort.c from BSD is the best one, as it *sorts* all the Solaris
releases (its in your Pg source : src/port/qsort.c).
In fact I wonder if using the BSD qsort for *all* platforms might be a
good idea - it would provide cross platform consistency and possibly
better performance (e.g. It was several times quicker than glibc qsort,
when I checked this on Linux last year.... )
best wishes
