I'm quite inclined to suspect that mprime would just compile right over for
Solaris.    I don't know how the assembly is handled (is it intel syntax, or
at&t, and is it seperate ASM files or is it embedded inline in .c ?

So the biggest problem might be finding the right compilers to get it to
compile.  once its compiling, all the IO and stuff is standard posix unix,
it should play on solaris just fine.   I believe the gnu c compiler
(egcs/gcc) is available for solaris/x86.
