We just this week changed the documentation to state that Solaris < 9 is unsupported. [1] Support by Oracle for Solaris 2.6 ended in 2006. That is, 13 years ago. [2] For this reason, I don't think anyone is still using such a system for productive purposes. The purpose of Gnulib is to allow software developers on various operating systems to work together as a single community, rather than as distinct communities that don't benefit each other. For this purpose, it is not necessary to support operating systems which have a zero-sized developer community.
