Re: GDM compile on Solaris v2.6

[mcnichol austin ibm com]

I've got the same problem on AIX.

AIX doesn't have setenv.  But it is pretty simple to change
it to putenv which should be supported on Solaris.

I sent a bug report into gdm, and got a note that this has
already been fixed in the new version which hasn't been
published yet.
