It would be good to mandate that while building these binaries, the libraries out of the main repo (out of pkg.opensolaris.org/) should be used to build. Libraries from /usr/local or /opt/csw (definitely no disrespect to Sunfreeware or Blastwave) should not be used in the build process. Though it may be obvious, it would be better to mention in the process document
