To follow up on this very old thread.. John.. I'm not sure if you ended up recreating that work you said you would, but didn't want to bother you... Another guy on our team started to take the port up again recently.. Some of the missing functions are now available in our snv_107 based zone so that took care of a few things...
Current patches and status are here http://bugs.osunix.org/browse/OSUNIX-44 It's not done and I think there's a few sticky points left.. For example the building of gnu ld.. and also the gnu as + gcc being needed for 64bit code.. Anyway.. if anyone wants to take a quick look at the patch, give a quick tip or helping hand we'd most appreciate it. Cheers, ./Christopher OSUNIX - Community based OpenSolaris #ospkg irc.freenode.net
