[tlbuild] install-tl script is broken

Hello,

A friend of mine tried to install TeXLive on a Solaris box and after
installation
there were no binaries. In fact, the installation script printed the
following message:

Detected platform: Solaris on Intel x86

*** WARNING: No binaries for your platform found.
 <B> set binary platforms: 0 out of 8


​Well there is a problem here. The system is ​x86_64-pc-solaris2.11​ and
the folder  ./texlive/archive contains

pdftex.x86_64-solaris.tar.xz
xetex.x86_64-solaris.tar.xz

Thus it includes the correct binaries, fails to correctly detect the system
and one cannot install the binaries. Any suggestion to solve this problem?

A.S.
