Solaris uses a single '-' to mark the end of the options list:

 NOTES
     A - permits the user to mark explicitly the end of any  com-
     mand  line options, allowing rm  to recognize file arguments
     that begin with a -. As an aid to BSD  migration,  rm   will
     accept  -  as a synonym for -. This migration aid may disap-
     pear in a future release. If a - and a - both appear on  the
     same command line, the second will be interpreted as a file.
