I've had a look and both support for libposix4 and librt can go on
Solaris: libposix4 was renamed to librt in Solaris 7 (1998) and librt
was folded into libc in the OpenSolaris timeframe, leaving librt only as
a filter on libc. Thus, it's no longer need on either Solaris 11 or
Illumos. Unfortunately, it seems librt support cannot go completely:
it's still needed for HP-UX 11 (sem_init) and glibc < 2.17
(clock_gettime).
I'll prepare a patch for the Solaris side.
