I think O_BINARY is supposed to be defined always within FFmpeg, at
least I think there is some header that defines it if it is not already
available.

Switching your Solaris setup to be POSIX-compatible (in particular using
a POSIX-compatible shell as /bin/sh) sure would be preferred, but I
guess it should not matter for this (as long as you adjusted your path so
that POSIX variants of all other programs are used).
