I can confirm that the formation of jni.h on Solaris requires the same
hack.

The linux version is a Sun adoption of the Blackdown port, so it's
based on the same codebase. Others (IBM, for instance) won't be, and
so will need different approaches if/when we hit issues.

What's going to be more interesting is that we'll start seeing more
ports as the GPL version of v6 picks up speed.
