Follow-up Comment #1:

Thank you for the report and patches.

I was doubting whether the behaviour you describe is already present in the
first (among many) Solaris 10 release. Apparently yes, according to the
documentation:
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19205-01/819-5264/afanb/index.html
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18752_01/html/816-5137/compile-94611.html

> 1. if the package is configured on Solaris 10 or later do not
activate PTHREAD_IN_USE_DETECTION_HARD.

Thank you. I took essentially your patch.

> 2. if the package is configured and built on Solaris 9 or previous but
run on Solaris 10 or later the test using the ephemeral thread is
not necessary.

Thank you. This patch is probably good as well, but less frequently useful: If
someone upgrades from Solaris 9 to Solaris 10, he should have done it by now.
Since it adds 20 lines of additional complexity, I prefer to get away without
it.
