Ok, so clearly a locally installed package and not part of any Sun
supplied software.

After a quick bit of research it looks as though my Solaris 10

anything older does not.  I think the cleanest solution may be to add
autoconf checks for these functions and if they aren't available use
the non-f routines instead.
