Note that MIT isn't testing with a Solaris version nearly that old.   
I think Solaris 9 is the oldest we're testing on, or even have  
available....

You don't indicate what test it's running.  At a quick glance, the  
only place I find --version used is when it's trying to figure out  
some version info about the compiler, but not getting it shouldn't be  
fatal.

It looks like Solaris 2.6 doesn't support IPv6.  Everything we test  
on does, so it's not surprising we missed something here and there.

Try conditionalizing the definition of krb5int_in6addr_any with  
"#ifdef KRB5_USE_INET6".  (That macro should not be defined in  
include/autoconf.h on your system.)  There may be other related  
problems waiting for you, though.
