        :-) good stuff.

        so - of course, we're happy to merge patches, help out & so on; but in
the past there has been a certain amount of cruft and pain in the
project to make it build with the oddish Solaris compilers. Personally,
I'd strongly prefer a future where we built only with free compilers on
Mac/cross-compile-to-windows/Linux and other places.

        I would have a read of configure.in to see what it is doing in this
regard; this is an under-tested code-path.

        I wouldn't bother with that. There'll be enough problems that it is
best to fix them on master and get your patches merged there quickly I
thinkg.

        Odd :-) this is most likely a /bin/sh vs. /bin/bash shell compatibility
problem.

        Having said all that, personally I'd concentrate on getting 3.4.x
building if you're desperate for a stable version, 3.4.2 will be out in
a month, freeze in 2 weeks and can have your fixes in it by then; but
I'd go for building on master and back-porting those myself :-)

        HTH,

                Michael.
