It seems that people on Open Solaris do a lot of ad-hoc custom
environment setup there to make up for lack of a file system standard
and chaotic and conflicting package installations. Ouch.
Based on initial comments from Kamil Szymala, I started a branch which
lets people who have installed GCC on a Solaris box have it picked in
preference, and sorted out a few assumptions that were getting in the
way of doing that.
After initial contact from him, however, I didn't get any corrections to
the branch, so I'm not sure if it's actually ok or not.
It's branch 'build-solaris'. I will merge it to 'mainline' this weekend
if no one comments further as it seems to be an improvement for that
environment, and it will be in 4.0.10-rc3 (to be out shortly). Anyone
who is running on Solaris may want to test first.
Patch bundles further improving matters there are welcome.
