In case that /usr/gnu would not hide Solaris specific features like it is doing today, it is good solution probably. The problem is that /usr/gnu is doing that (e.g. ACLs or linker). It is broken architecture to hide significant features. Additionally it is big pain for sustaining to maintain many different toolsets, with additional costs. Best regards, Milan
