Horrors. How did these persist so long?

I think we probably shouldn't accept these without corresponding checks
in contrib/check-code.py otherwise these will just be recurring problems
that people on more mainstream Unices won't notice. Please separate out
each class of breakage into a separate patch and include a corresponding
check.

Also, please start your patch summaries with a relevant keyword, like
"solaris:".
