I managed to get netatalk-2.03 to compile under Solaris
10 (and 11 aka Solaris express) using the following
hack.  I suck at autoconf so I'm not sure how to 
go about fixing aclocal.m4 and configure.in, but
the basic premise makes a working netatalk on 
Solaris.

1) fix configure script to add "-R${bdblibdir}" flags to 
lines 15199 and 15945  (This fixes a problem when
linking to libbdb4 during the test phase of the 
configure). Can also use env LD_LIBARRY_PATH=path_to_bdb4 ./configure, but \
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not a recommended use for Solaris, in general.

2) when configuring, use
   "env RANLIB=echo ./configure....."
as Solaris doesn't (and hasn't used) ranlib

3) once configure succeeds, add to config.h near
where "#define SOLARIS 1" is defined.
#define SOLARIS2 10 # or 8, 9, or 11 depending on your os

This will tell the module whether it can use the 
identify features of the DDI, which were removed in
Solaris 10.  Still works in Solaris 9 and prior.

Using darren reed's ipf code as a model, I found the
solution to the problem for ipf to be useful for netatalk. 
somewhere in configure script, it needs to define a SOLARIS2
variable.  From the ipf Makefile, one way to do that is:

SOLARIS2=`uname -r | sh -c 'IFS=. read j n x; echo $n'`

such that it gets defined into config.h. 

4) patch sys/solaris/tpi.c to handle the case where
DDI_IDENTIFIED/DDI_NOT_IDENTIFIED is not used in 
Solaris 10 and later (I used Darren Reeds' IPF code
as model to fix this, which seems consistent with
the page at http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-0552/6mgbi4fha?a=view
