Well, if native threading was the only problem, then one could stick with
green threads and everything would be okay.
The problem is that all those system libraries, though they have similar (or the
same) names are not the same, and this is especially true of the C libraries.
This is what prevents someone using Sparc Linux from using the Sparc Solaris
JDK. The question is is the x86 Solaris JDK iBCS (Intel Binary Compatibility
Standard) compliant? If it is, then you should be able to use it in Linux
using the iBCS kernel module. I *highly* doubt it is, though if you want to
give it a try, feel free.
BTW, I am surprised that Sun even bothers with x86 Solaris over (direct)
support for Linux. Easier to port from Sparc Solaris I suppose.
