of OpenSolaris on my Blade 1500, and hope to upgrade to a self-built
copy of the X consolidation as of snv_147 once an unrelated ZFS root
problem can be sorted out.
So while the path to OpenSolaris on SPARC with unsupported graphics is
ugly, it can be done.

ble for OpenSolaris fixes the file to properly work with GCC. If
all else fails, build the compiler yourself (4.5 recommended).

uld certainly be best to get all this code upstream, though I'm
uncertain how easily the X consortium will take code as platform
specific as the contract stuff (which he took almost literally out of
Sun's gdm patches, which aren't upstream either, it seems).

neglected as a GCC platform).

(4.1.1 right now) or even on making sure everything still works with the
upcoming GCC 4.2.0 instead. Basing considerable amounts of work on an

Great, thanks. Anyway, I hope someone finds the suggested reorganization

block-based storage (e.g. iscsi, svm projets, maybe others?) and
filesystems (with the projects mentioned above).
Thoughts?

ols, just run
./mkheaders (maybe with some args, I don't remember for sure).
But Paul is right: unless for some reason you need GCC > 3.4, just use the
modified GCC 3.4.3 that is shipped in /usr/sfw from Solaris 10 onward.
