It looks like we are only providing the native Solaris mysql
(/usr/sfw/bin/mysql). We are unable to make any changes to how this
program is built and are unlikely to invest the effort into adding our
own build to the release, as Solaris support is being phased out.
There is a mysql locker with a Solaris installation, but it is fairly
ancient (2003) so it may or may not serve your needs.
