_llseek is from Linux, AFAIK.

Since this is a non-Posix function, removing the underscore will 
cause it to pollute the ANSI/Posix namespace (since standard functions 
like fseek will want to call it internally), or require to add it to 
<libc/stabs.h>.  It doesn't seem to be worth the hassle.  Solaris names 
aren't standard any more than Linux are.
