How much should we work around buggy Solaris/OpenIndiana/Illumos > 16 groups bugs?

[Andrew Bartlett]

I've uploaded to https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7588 the
attached two patches that will help some sites that can't fix their OS,
but need more than 16 groups. 

Given that a number of sites seem to deploy this, and there has been no
reaction on the Illumos side indicating a desire to fix this, should we
just do the qsort() unconditionally on Solaris-based OS's, for the sake
of our users?

I don't propose to detect buggy versions, if we did this I figured to
make it happen on all Solaris builds.

Any thoughts?
