Samba 2.2.0 beta1 portability issues in Solaris 8

[David Collier-Brown]

  I ran appcert on the 2.2.0 tree, and found some code
that's doubtful.
  Appcert reported:

Summary of Private symbol use in /usr/lib/libc.so.1
  (18 binaries used libc.so.1, 17 of these used private symbols)

  _get_exit_frame_monitor 16  _acl 1                      
  _facl 1                     _llseek 1                   
  _pread 1                    _pwrite 1   

--------------

_get_exit_frame_monitor  -- I'm looking for it as we speak, but
	it may be a mere artifact of the testing....

_acl is used via #define real_acl(fn,cmd,n,buf) (_acl(fn,cmd,n,buf))
	in the creation of smbwrapper.so. Unfortunately, _acl is a 
	private interface in Solaris, using the leading underscore
	convention of ANSI C to indicate that it's not to be called
	from applications. It lives in /usr/lib/libc.so.1
_facl ditto
_llseek ditto
_pread ditto
_pwrite ditto

We arguably need to avoid defining name to _name, lest we
get mysteriously different behavior on Solaris... It's
not entirely kosher, anyway.
