```
- Solaris 9 and up do not need -liconv, so NEEDS_LIBICONV should be set
   only for S8.
- Move the declaration of the uname variables to early in the Makefile
   so they can be referenced by prefix and gitexecdir variables.
- gitexecdir defaults to being same as bindir, it might as well reference
   that variable.

Yeah, it's handy for installs to shared volumes, e.g. I like to set 
bindir to $(prefix)/arch/$(uname_P)/bin.

Seems wise ;).

Note that it doesn't change things for S8. Also, I've tested this on 
Solaris 10 and fairly recent Solaris dev snapshots (snv_31). I didn't 
try a test compile on S9, however I did check on an S9u7 box and 
there is no libiconv to link against.
