Newer versions of Solaris support SO_TIMESTAMP per:
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19957-01/820-0724/gcoqs/index.html
http://www.theptpguy.net/posts/2017/05/25/ptpd-on-legacy-systems-solaris-10-part-1-how-we-got-there
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E36784_01/html/E36875/setsockopt-3socket.html#REFMAN3Bsetsockopt-3socket
This matches what I see in the Solaris 11u3 VM that I have connected to Buildbot.
