The build date for that build was August 27, 2007. It looks like build 75 should have been pretty good (October 8, 2007), but for absolute, most up-to-date stuff you want build 84 (which will be in a build on February 25, 2008). The source code changes are already visible in OpenSolaris and the marvell88sx binary is likewise down loadable (I wish I could provide the source, but Marvell says "no").
Please try something more recent than over 5 months old.
