This is because Solaris 8 doesn't have vasprintf - it's unfortunately
rather common for developers using Linux/FreeBSD etc to make poor
assumptions regarding the availability of such functions.  I worked around
it by editing src/misc.c - there's a vasprintf function defined there but
an #ifdef causes it to only be defined on Win32.  Remove the #ifdef and
the included vasprintf function works fine for Solaris.
