We have a number of old Solaris related build issues that
could use some testing.

The main problem of OpenOffice on Solaris is that it still
assumes that one will use SunStudio to compile it. I think
OpenOffice should drop completely its support for this
compiler in favor for GCC. Once, I compiled OpenOffice
with GCC but for some reason it was failing to open
zipped formats (.docx etc). Also, I published all my
pathces and some of them were included in the source
tree. Some of the pacthes mentioned on the links above
are based on the patches I made. Unfortunately, no one
carred to update the code...

one problem of integrating patches is that you need to test them if the trunk builds are still OK or if some adjustments are necessary. However, AFAIK no developer has a Solaris machine under the desk and therefore it's not a good idea to commit fixes when you don't know what the results are. ;-)

That's also the reason why the build environment still uses Sun Studio and nothing else - instead or additional.

But when you can help us here with builds that would be great.
