Hi Alan,

Please correct me. 

See for ref: 
http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+tools/build_instr

We were using GCC 3.x to compile ON snv_144 and the X consolidation. Still 
considered a the preferred method for the community members?

Also, I did remember a note about using GCC 4.x to build ON and the X 
consolidation as well in the future. Is this tested by anyone at Oracle 
Engineering?
