Yup, it looks like it was done on purpose, for reasons I don't really want
to understand this late at night :(

I was going to ask the same question...  It's definitely not something
with "unixware" in the name :-)

Well, I was going to do it for whatever triplet popped up for unixware;
this may or may not suck in some of the other variants.

Yup.  We're in a bad position, but since most ports don't seem to have the
kind of trouble with this as unixware, the safest thing to do seems to be
to fix things for unixware now and try to find a sane solution for everything
later.

Also note, we _may_ end up having do disable .fini for x86-solaris due to bugs
in the solaris2.5 libraries...  Oh what fun...
