I certainly don't remember why.

There's two ways to fix this. 1) always use O_NONBLOCK from now on
and assume that any (Solaris) system where people install Squid works
the way O_NONBLOCK should work. So if someone tries to install newer Squid
on really old Solaris on even SunOS, it might not work.

2) make a special case for Solaris 8 and probably 7? I don't think
we can detect the solaris version from preprocessor defines, so it
probably requires a configure hack.
