On Solaris 11.4, which doesn't have flock() in libc, the test-flock test fails. Whereas on Solaris 11 OmniOS and Solaris 11 OpenIndiana, which have flock() support in the kernel, it succeeds.
Last time I read about locking mechanisms, it convinced me that an flock() on lockf() emulation would not work.
