And according to remove(3C) on Solaris 2.7:

     For files, remove() is identical to   unlink().  For  direc-
     tories, remove() is identical to rmdir().

There is no "CONFORMING TO" sections in Solaris 2.7 man pages it seems
(I checked a few other man pages for functions I knew were standard to
make sure), so I cannot be sure of the conformance level on Solaris.
