Hi Rainer,

Yeah, coincidentally (or not) I noticed the exact same thing, and I'm
working on fixing this issue. It doesn't affect just the Solaris
builders; it also affects the Fedora mingw32 builder (for example).
I've manually fixed it for now (i.e., if there is another build
breakage, you will see notifications for Solaris as well), and I'm
working to fix the underlying issue.

Thanks for the report.
