Is there a pressing reason to use Solaris 2.6 , I have dropped developing
for it. Solaris 7 and 8 run well on older hardware, I still use my Sparc 4
with Solaris 8. Both versions of Solaris can be bought cheaply on e-bay.

Do not use threads with gcc 2.95.2 since there is a compiler bug which will
cause your code to crash from time to time

Subject: [mico-devel] Solaris 2.6 incompatible with threaded 2.3.11

A follow-up to some investigating I've done into ny Solaris 2.6 problem 
with 2.3.11:

1) I tried compiling 2.3.11 with --enable-threads --enable-pthreads and 
gcc 2.95.2, 3.3.2, and 3.4.4 with no success because apparently 2.6 has 
no support for POSIX read/write locks.

2) I tried those same compilers with --enable-threads 
--enable-solaris-threads, also to no avail because there were a lot of 
compile errors due to the MICO namespace.

3) Compiling without threads worked fine, but my app always gets 
TRANSIENT failures whenever I compile with -DREENTRANT, regardless of 
wether I actually have multiple threads in the program or even if I have 
multiple threads, but only one that interacts with the orb.

If I can find the time, I'll fix it, but for now, I think Solaris 2.6 
should be taken off of the compatibility list for multi-threaded 2.3.11 
if it were ever explicitly on it.
