I am with you when you say that people should collaborate. Although,

Bash is great and fortunately or unfortunately most applications
expect bash and not Bourne shell.  Also, I have compiled a number of 

important tools and all expect the GNU ls, GNU ld, etc. For starters
OpenOffice/LibreOffice expect GNU tools. In addition, since it is 

not trivial to maintain 'ld' and 'as' why not adopting the GNU
equivalents and forget about the Solaris things. And of course,
sooner or later people should choose to use either GCC or LLVM 

as the official compiler. Sun Studio is closed source and not 

actively maintained.
