On Solaris the syscall interface is a private, unstable interface
(just like on Windows), and the only supported way to interact with
the system is through the vendor-supplied libc. Go on Solaris always
uses libc, it doesn't make system calls directly like on Linux.

In fact macOS is just like Solaris here (except the syscall interface
breaks even more often), but we just ignore it and hope for the best
(which is a shame, because Go binaries for macOS will never be
forward-compatible this way) .
