Icedtea can't be included in ON? or you mean via spec file.. documentation... ? I document nearly everything I do already and will continue to do so.. (I am a bit behind on some of this)
fwiw.. binaries even under a redistributable licenses are an absolute last option and end being a bug report with attached proposal on exactly what needs to be done for replacement.. I'm not sure it will help this specific circumstance, but it seems that apache stdcxx is a possible replacement for SUNWlibC.. I'll have to go back and monkey with some Makefile bits to recompile and test that compatibility in onnv-gate, but worst case there's always patching :) ./C
