Strange. The configure script actually checks that gethostname() is
available without additional libraries.

You could try undefining HAVE_GETHOSTNAME in include/config.h after
configure has run, in which case it should fall back to uname().

AFAICT, the only reference is in lib/gis/mach_name.c, so if all else
fails, you can always hack that file, e.g.:

char *G__machine_name(void)
{
    static char name[] = "dummy";
    return name;
}

Ultimately, the only way we'll get a proper fix is if someone who
understands Solaris can determine the correct compilation and linking
flags.
