This disables the sctp protocol on those systems then? Probably fine,
but *searchengine* tells me that some parts of the implementation are
hidden behind defines (which ffmpeg may or may not want to use):

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40235

But then, without understanding the impact of these defines (at least
globally), and especially without the possibility of trying to build on
Solaris, this may indeed be the easiest fix.
