Hmm.

If you don't have any test you want to make before adding the
#define, I don't think this is idiomatic use of autoconf.
Personally I'd have just added "-D__STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT1__" into
the CPPFLAGS for Solaris, perhaps in src/template/solaris,
or maybe just adjust the stanza immediately above this one:

if test "$PORTNAME" = "solaris"; then
  CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS"
fi
