However, one trouble with this platform is that there are many possible combinations of C compiler/assembler/linker, depending of how many GNU tools you are using. There is also the problem of patches. There are numerous bugs in the original release of Solaris8/x86, and some concern very essential things like dynamic loading. Make sure all recommended patches from Sun are installed. If you happen to be using Solaris9/x86, I'm afraid it is not tested yet.
