Solaris 11 and later have it, and I no longer spend effort on making new
Xorg releases run on Solaris 10 and older. (As far as I know they still
should mostly run on Solaris 8 and later, but I don't have the time nor
motivation to ensure that, and have seen no one else submitting patches
to do so.)
That said, build time substitution is probably the better answer anyway.
