Following issue 18259 which was solved by extern sethostname I managed to build python 3.7 on solaris only after patching away the ifdef for _AIX.
We need to add SOLARIS flag and check for that also in the same line of 
#ifdef _AIX.

This error only appears in 3.7 since a new CFLAG was turned on -Werror=no-implicit-declaration. and during build time it fails on sethostname function, not build _socket.

On Solaris 10 i386 I successfully built _socket on 3.7.3 by patching *in* a Solaris test (by cloning the test for the INET_ADDRSTRLEN definition currently on line 268) rather than by patching away the _AIX ifdef
