Hi Ankush,

Cactus should automatically detect systems running Solaris 2.6 up to 
2.9. The general known-architectures file for this version of Solaris 
already includes "socket nsl m" in the LIBS makefile variable iff the 
user has not set it manually.

I guess if Solaris 10 isn't completely different from its predecessor 
versions, all you need to do is to add a file 
lib/make/known-architectures/solaris10 with the same contents as one of 
the solaris2.x files. Does this work ?
