If you want sched_yield yes (better than sleep(0)). It doesn't come from
 any GNU package, it comes from SUNWcsl  (man librt => librt, libposix4
 - POSIX.1b Realtime Extensions library ...).

To compile without librt and without sched_yield  remove
-DHAVE_SCHED_YIELD from Makefile.defs:
 ifeq  ($(OS), solaris) ...

Yes, on several machines.
