Looks like it learned -l in 10.0:

https://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/bin/sh/main.c?r1=1.89#rev1.89

But fear not: on Solaris, "sh" is always a shell that lacks -l:

/usr/bin/sh: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E88353_01/html/E37839/ksh93-1.html
/usr/sunos/bin/sh: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E88353_01/html/E37839/sh-1s.html
/usr/xpg4/bin/sh: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E88353_01/html/E37839/ksh88-1.html
