  Hum, what should be used as the result of config.guess
for Solaris so I can add it to configure.in .
  I assume adding the _REENTRANT define won't have other side
effects and can be used in a safe way. Well actually if Gary
could confirm it's a safe thing to do in general I would feel
better adding this :-)

  Hum, maybe Bjorn can have a look at this, it seems trio 
includes errno.h so maybe this definition is done only in a
fallback case.
