To avoid unnecessary duplication of effort, let me note that I'm very
close to having the unix ports running on sparc solaris.

It's been pretty straightforward -- most of what I have so far was
done in an afternoon.  Right now, however, my threads crap out on the
first call to a shared library.  I may have to spend some time
learning more about the dynamic linker than I ever wanted to know
(although, it's possible that I've simply misread the abi *again*).

If anyone feels like poking at it I can send files and diffs.

Kudos to Russ.  The ports are already making life better for me on
Linux/386.
