I can't really say what is different about it except for some truly major
pthread/LWP changes, something to do with POSIX signalling, and the space of
about three years.  I just gave away my remaining Solaris 2.6 dev box so
Solaris 7 is the low water mark now and I can't think of anything to say
except a pithy "upgrade your operating system" remark.  If you can, get
gcc-2.95.3 and compile using -fPIC (gmake gccme=1) and pray for the best.
Even better, download the recommended patch roll-up for 2.5.1, download the
evaluation copy of the Sun C compiler and its requisite 2.5.1 patches, and
start over, possibly doing "gmake nativeme=1".

Regards,

Kris
