Correct. And maybe add to the conditionals to include it.

Yes. Note that clocale.pp includes the linux implementation. It might be
closer to Solaris than BSD.

Fine. Don't bother too much about the makefile shenigans. Just hackety get
it running/updated to confirm it works fine on Solairs.

Then put a patch (adding solaris/clocale.inc and a patch for unix/clocale.pp
to include the solaris .inc) in the bugtracker.

I'll do the rest. 

Note: I can enable packages/ for solaris too. But I would like to do that as
much as possible in one mutation/commit. That makes merging back to 2.4.x
easier.
