If you cant get traction feeding Sun-specific patches upstream, you should you should work with the Pkgsrc people. Pkgsrc can save Solaris (in that Stabbing Westward sense). See: http://pkgsrc.habel.name/packages/SunOS-5.9-sparc/lang/ php-5.2.3nb2.tgz 2007-Jun-10 11:53:47 3.2M application/x-tgz php-5.2.3nb3.tgz 2007-Sep-27 16:54:00 3.2M application/x-tgz http://www.pkgsrc.org/ They're experts at resolving toolchain and portability problems. They're also not likely to turn down access to hardware for bulk-build machines. Oh and bug reports wont get closed as "Won't fix" :) ~BAS
