I don't think so that there is interest to fix it for solaris 2.5.1. Everything 
older than Solaris 8 is not officially supported (exclude timezone updates which 
are available for old systems) and Solaris 8 is in EOL mode.

Anyway solaris 2.5.1 runs only on old HW and I don't see any benefit to run new 
PostgreSQL version on hardware with small harddisk and memory.
