Solaris ships with GNU tools in /usr/sfw/bin, and I can play with paths etc. My problem is that some openpkg packages appear to conflate the build time dependencies with run time dependencies, and it does that in an inconsistent manner: why does db depend on gcc but subversion and pdksh do not? Besides, most of the software packages you open-package already support (via autoconf/automake & friends) being compiled with native build environments so hard-depending on GNU make and GNU cc does not help in a significant way. You are being overly-protective here - people who just "want it to work" will get binaries, people who pass --use_cc are expected to know what they are doing, or able to quickly learn ;) BTW, I have already added %l_cc /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc do my .rpmmacros file but I expected the system to remember that I have passed --use_cc to the bootstrap procedure. Please do not take this as "drive-by criticism" of the project. I appreciate the work that you are doing. My reason to compile with the native compiler is trying to get the most out of this aging machine.
