Richard, 
Yep, I know there's a pre-built binary (and thank you much for that!)... but I 
think that to do open development on filebench (or anything else) in the 
community, it needs to be compilable using the resources that most people have. 
 

So, I think that probably means:  being able to compile with gcc (the compiler 
included in S10), as well as the SOS10 compiler (which is now freely available 
in binary form), and being able to compile without having a Sparc machine 
handy.  That's why I attempted this, rather than just downloading the pre-built 
binaries -- because it's what most people will have to work with, when they 
decide to jump in and become  contributors.

In my previous post, I detailed some of the bugs I encountered trying to do 
this.  I think they're probably minor, and easily fixed (at least that's my 
guess, since I hacked around them, rather than attempt a real fix!).
