This test checks functionality from lib/exclude.c and that file contains

in Solaris 9 /usr/include/fnmatch.h does not contain FNM_CASEFOLD and is 
therefore set to 0.

That means test-exclude2.sh should not be run if FNM_CASEFOLD == 0.

This is similar and should not be run if FNM_LEADING_DIR == 0.

Could you please forward this to the respective maintainers and ask if they
could adjust the testsuite accordingly?
