Yes. the manpage for ctime_r on solaris says

char *ctime_r(const time_t *clock, char *buf, int buflen);

so this allows compilation in cairo-ps-surface.c:
                                 /* sws solaris needs len ctime_r
(&now, ctime_\ buf), */
                                 ctime_r (&now, ctime_buf, 25),

probably the hard number should be a #define...
