When we started with the Solaris 64 bit builds, you needed to
set an environment variable "WYOMING_TOOLS" to point to a linker
capable of building 64 bit binaries.  Later you could just point it
to the installed tools.

Other dependencies can/should be handled in a similar fashion,
though one could easily find oneself in a catch-22:

        to build on, you need libxml

        to build libxml, you'd want to build it against the
        libraries/headers of the OpenSolaris build you want to use
        it on
