I know Damien's handling this now, but just for interest's sake: In
configure.in there's code like this:

*-*-solaris*)
	AC_DEFINE(USE_WTMPX)
	;;

you'd just need to add something like this:

*-*-solaris*)
	AC_DEFINE(USE_WTMPX)
	sol_ver=`uname -r`
	if test $sol_ver == 5.5 -o test $sol_ver == 5.5.1; then
	   AC_DEFINE(SOL_25_SNPRINTF_FIX)
	fi
	;;

(you'll have to check what `uname -r` returns on 2.5.1, though.) You
could do wacky stuff if you need to test for, say, versions less than
2.6:

sol_ver=`uname -r`
sol_major=`echo $sol_ver | awk -F. '{print $1}'`
sol_minor=`echo $sol_ver | awk -F. '{print $2}'`
if test $sol_major -eq 5 -a $sol_minor -lt 6 ; then
   do_things
fi

watch those backticks :-)

You could instead add more specific cases instead, e.g.

*-*-solaris2.5)
*-*-solaris2.5.1)
	do_things
	# fall through
*-*-solaris*)
	do_more_things

but that will get messy if there are other special cases for different
versions.
