It is the only platform where `local_vsnprintf` is not just a redirect and likely the only platform to build with sparcWorks which has `#define vsnprintf local_vsnprintf`. On AIX, `local_vsnprintf` is not even been defined.

Temurin will drop Solaris for 2026-01. I think Azul is shipping 8 for Solaris.

If this is not intended for `jdk8u` then we'll have a quarter to hear complaints/propose fixes.
