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".
