Compiling Dovecot on Solaris 11 fails

[Andrew Watkins]

Hi,

Tried to build dovecot-2.3.4 on Solaris 11 x86 and it fails at configure 
part. I just went checked and it last version it works on is v2.3.2.1

Version 2.3.2.1 (OK)
# ./configure
....
checking Linux compatible mremap()... no
checking whether shared mmaps get updated by write()s... yes
checking whether fd passing works... yes
...

Version 2.3.4 (FAIL)
....
checking Linux compatible mremap()... no
checking whether shared mmaps get updated by write()s... no
checking whether fd passing works... no
configure: error: fd passing is required for Dovecot to work
....

config.log shows:

Any ideas and thanks.
