If some people like to crete an embedded system that is based on OpenSolaris,
it may be important to be able to have a basic system that is purely based
on "free enough" software like CDDLd software.
In former times, Sun did not even allow the GNU toolchain to be used in order
to compile Solaris. This was too much, but it still makes sense to have a
working system that could be setup without GNU software.
