> I was trying to get IPv6 name resolution working with Solaris8
Does Solaris 8 come with IPv6 support, or is it an add-on?
If it's an add-on, you'd need to check not only for Solaris 8 (although
you might want to check for SunOS 5.8 or later, rather than just SunOS
5.8), but also check whether it has the IPv6 support.

It was true, but I just checked in a fix.

You need spaces around the "=" operators, otherwise it thinks Solaris
2.6 is Solaris 8.

I.e., you have to cast it to "struct in6_addr *" to get it to work on
Solaris 8?
