It's been noted that GCC isn't the best at compiling under Solaris, for this
type of code anyway. Someone else (my brother?) will probably have more
info on this.
Unfortunately, the Sun I was supposed to get showed up while I was on
vacation, and some other group managed to "steal" it away before I could put
up a fight for it. :-( I think they're getting my RS/6000's also! Double
:-( At least I got lots of P-166's...
