On Python 3.5, it seems ok:
---
test_get_inheritable_cloexec (test.test_socket.InheritanceTest) ... ok
test_set_inheritable (test.test_socket.InheritanceTest) ... ok
test_set_inheritable_cloexec (test.test_socket.InheritanceTest) ... ok

But not on on Python 3.6:

Hum, the main difference between Python 3.5 and 3.6 is this optimization:

Avoid fcntl() if possible in set_inheritable()

Issue #26770: set_inheritable() avoids calling fcntl() twice if the FD_CLOEXEC
is already set/cleared. This change only impacts platforms using the fcntl()
implementation of set_inheritable() (not Linux nor Windows).

Although Victor initiated some discussions on python-dev about support for OpenIndiana and other Solaris-related derivatives, I don't we ever reached a consensus, no one has proposed a solution, and currently the OpenIndiana 3.6 buildbot is not functioning well (I've pinged the owner).  I am not willing to hold 3.6.0 for a resolution.  Let's come back to this later.

I'm not interested to work on OpenIndiana, and I consider that we should just remove the OpenIndiana buildbot, so I abandon this issue.
