I've been poking around one of the blastwave mirrors and it looks
like the PostgreSQL packages for Solaris 10 were actually built on
Solaris 8 (SunOS 5.8).  They have names like

postgresql-8.1.0-SunOS5.8-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz

I think that would explain the problem: the platform-specific
PostgreSQL headers were built on a system that doesn't have unsetenv()
but your system does have it.  Try building PostgreSQL from source
or looking for a package that was built on Solaris 10.
