Mea culpa, bad reading and c&p problem. Yes, Solaris allows to set
FD_SETSIZE directly during compilation, so, "Linux" specific
ISC_SOCKET_FDSETSIZE isn't the correct value to set.

>From the source code, -P2 improved UDP file descriptors handling, but
the amount of file descriptors for select() arrays is still high. So
setting FD_SETSIZE for some higher values (depending on your load) in
CFLAGS is still valid for -P2 releases.
