I did so because I didn't have SunOS to test so I'd rather not touch
the code detecting NEEDS_SOCKET in configure.ac. How about this patch:

diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac
index 4a12cb0..0516fdb 100644
--- a/configure.ac
+++ b/configure.ac
@@ -173,6 +173,12 @@ test -n "$NEEDS_LIBICONV" && LIBS="$LIBS -liconv"

If someone has a SunOS, please test the above patch. Thanks
