Actually, the problem with Solaris is that - as I understand - flock 
function is in some compatibility library. Also, the constant definitions 
are NOT in <sys/file.h>, as on linux and BSD systems (IFAIK). This makes 
the compilation fail - see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61058

I guess tackling this issue should be easier than a general bug.
