bug in ifiter_getifaddrs.c cannot find include file: <ifaddrs.h> ??

Hi Dennis,

see PLATFORMS.md from the distribution. Unfortunately, Solaris 10 is just too old
to be supported.  You will either need to upgrade to Solaris 11 or use BIND 9.11 ESV

## Supported platforms

In general, this version of BIND will build and run on any POSIX-compliant
system with a C99-compliant C compiler, BSD-style sockets with RFC-compliant
IPv6 support, POSIX-compliant threads, and the OpenSSL cryptography library.
Atomic operations support from the compiler is needed, either in the form of
builtin operations, C11 atomics or the Interlocked family of functions on
Windows.

ISC regularly tests BIND on many operating systems and architectures, but
lacks the resources to test all of them. Consequently, ISC is only able to
offer support on a "best effort" basis for some.

[…]

## Unsupported platforms

These are platforms on which BIND 9.15 is known *not* to build or run:

* Platforms without at least OpenSSL 1.0.2
* Windows 10 / x86
* Windows Server 2012 and older
* Solaris 10 and older
* Platforms that don't support IPv6 Advanced Socket API (RFC 3542)
* Platforms that don't support atomic operations (via compiler or library)
* Linux without NPTL (Native POSIX Thread Library)
