It could be called an "enhancement to the build system". I call it a "fault of the build system" and a subsequent "fault of the test system" in that this Operating System has 2 ABIs and much of gcc seems to rely on 'uname' to determine the HTB, that is a mistake. The correct manner for gcc to decide that the HOST is the so-called "x86_64-pc-solaris2.11" host is to correctly query the Boot Mode. That is something that gcc does not do correctly on this Platform. I do not know that it is an "enhancement" that this Platform should build and test in the the same manner as other Platforms. I call it a major Bug. I guess it is a matter of semantics. Rob -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39150
