I think most of that paragraph, as well as the Studio 11 patch lists,
should just go away.  Here's a draft replacement:

   Please note that the compiler that comes bundled with OpenSolaris
   releases is probably not the correct compiler for building
   OpenSolaris components.

I will update the QuickStart page[1], which is incorporated into the
README, in the next couple days, unless someone suggests better wording.

I'd rather that the QuickStart/README just tell people to follow the
compiler instructions from the downloads page.  Otherwise, that will be
one more page that has to be updated whenever we change the compiler--
which means it'll just get out of date again.

Thanks for pointing out the stale text.

cheers,
mike
