>>> Are there reliable #ifdef's for identifying solaris? and then, in case, its versions? I need certain  workaround for solaris and, furthermore some are needed only for solaris 8/9, but no longer in 10+. (I'm struggling with the missing stdint.h and the incomplete inttypes.h)

I suggest seeking inspiration from other portable projects like vlc, rdesktop or mpg123.

Apart from that I guess 'host' in autoconf is what you are looking for:
