Expand the blob on Solaris to mention passing '-Xc' to compile Python

correctly. Note that 'faulty' should actually be spelled 'fawlty', but I
don't want those bugreports assigned to me ;)

-Solaris: When using Sun's C compiler with threads, at least on Solaris

-       way is probably to specify the compiler with this option as
-       the "CC" environment variable when running the configure

+Solaris: When using Sun's C compiler, it's necessary to compile in
