From the Solaris man page (the occurrances of `[pi]' actually were
`-^Hn'):

trig_sun(3M)          Mathematical Library           trig_sun(3M)

NAME
     trig_sun, sincos, sind, cosd,  tand,  asind,  acosd,  atand,
     atan2d, sincosd, sinp, cosp, tanp, asinp, acosp, atanp, sin-
     cosp, sinpi, cospi, tanpi, asinpi, acospi, atanpi,  atan2pi,
     sincospi - more trigonometric functions

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag ... ] file ...  -lsunmath -lm [ library ... ]

     #include <sunmath.h>
...
     double tanpi(double x);
...
DESCRIPTION
...
     sinpi(x),  cospi(x),  and  tanpi(x)  avoid   range-reduction
     issues  because their definition sinpi(x):=sin([pi]*x) permits
     range reduction that is  fast  and  exact  for  all  x.  The
     corresponding inverse functions compute asinpi(x):= asin(x)/
     [pi].  Similarly atan2pi(y,x):= atan2(y,x)/[pi].
...

So I think this will suffice (untested!):

#include <math.h>
#define atanpi(x) (atan(x) / M_PI)
