Getting _anything_ to cross-compile for a system that old is certainly going
to be a real chore, and i think i can safely say that nobody here has access
to a machine that old to try it out on. i would recommend poking around one
of the Solaris newsgroups (if there are any - in my experience SUN keeps any
and all useful documentation under lock and key) and asking some of the
SUN^H^H^HOracle gurus. But even then i would be surprised if anyone has a
2.1 box still running. It was end-of-life'd 12(!) years ago.

It would surprise me if the new build tools (TCL-based) will
bootstrap/compile on 2.1.

But good luck...
