Given all the other incompatibilities you note (and you missed a few
known incompatibilities, like libX11 & libXext in the Preview breaking
binary compatibility with Solaris X apps), isn't it a good thing that
uname warns you this isn't SunOS, so you know it's not compatible and
your scripts don't go assuming it is?
