Yes, seems we could go a few directions with SunOS:
Leave bit types broken on that platform, document itHard-code in a memcmp() in C for just that platform in varbit.cAdd
configuretest and real memcmp() function for bad platforms
 

Anyone want to vote on these?  Personally, SunOS seems like the
granddaddy of ports and I would hate to see it leave, especially when we
are so close.
