Talk to the opencsw.org guys, they have both Solaris 9 and 10 for x86 and sparc. I think they also have Solaris 8, but I don't think we need to care about that platform. And further, I don't think Solaris support is something we should spend a lot of time on if it takes away time to work on other improvements that benefits GNU platforms. /Simon
