​The problem is that the "official" Solaris x86 binaries are compiled on
Solaris 10 and I am sure that what
you ask is never going to happen. On an OpenIndiana system (Open Solaris
11) I see the following:

$ cat /usr/include/stdio.h
.....................................................
#if defined(__EXTENSIONS__) || \
        (!defined(_STRICT_STDC) && !defined(__XOPEN_OR_POSIX))
        /* || defined(_XPG7) */
extern ssize_t getdelim(char **_RESTRICT_KYWD, size_t *_RESTRICT_KYWD,
        int, FILE *_RESTRICT_KYWD);
extern ssize_t getline(char **_RESTRICT_KYWD, size_t *_RESTRICT_KYWD,
        FILE *_RESTRICT_KYWD);
#endif  /* __EXTENSIONS__ ... */
.......................................................

​So it is there. Now I am compiling on a 4 years old system. Of course I
can try to compile
on a more recent system but then the resulting binaries will not work on
Solaris 10.
