Sure - here it comes...

Solaris header file sys/socket.h has the following definition of the 
msghdr struct (msg_controllen is only present when _XPG4_2 is defined):

/*
 * Message header for recvmsg and sendmsg calls.
 */
struct msghdr {
        void            *msg_name;              /* optional address */
        socklen_t       msg_namelen;            /* size of address */
        struct iovec    *msg_iov;               /* scatter/gather array */
        int             msg_iovlen;             /* # elements in msg_iov 
*/

#if defined(__lint) || defined(_XPG4_2) || defined(_KERNEL)
        void            *msg_control;           /* ancillary data */
        socklen_t       msg_controllen;         /* ancillary data buffer 
len */
        int             msg_flags;              /* flags on received 
message */
#else
        caddr_t         msg_accrights;  /* access rights sent/received */
        int             msg_accrightslen;
#endif  /* defined(_XPG4_2) || defined(_KERNEL) */
};



Based on the standards(5) Solaris man page, in order to enable XPGv2 (SUS) 
...
   XPG4            The  application  must  define  _XOPEN_SOURCE  and  set
                   _XOPEN_VERSION=4.  If  _XOPEN_SOURCE  is defined with a
                   value, the value must be less than 500.
