If you load the companion CD software that came with your Solaris distro
you will also have a gfind (gnu find) command.  Also obtainable from
blastwave.org and others.

Then to get a count you could do something like:

        gfind . -type f -links +1 -printf '%i\n' | sort | uniq | wc -l

With the Solaris (POSIX) or gnufind find try:

        find . -type f -links +1 -ls | cut -d' ' -f1 | sort | uniq | wc -l
