I did try to start this discussion many times now...
It is most unlikely that you will be able to do this.
Even a distribution like SchilliX that tries to be binary compatible
with Sun Solaris has big problems. The Nexenta aproach for a OpenSolaris
distro will not allow you to compile you opensolaris unless there would
be a move towards more binary compatibility to Sun Solaris.
Last time I did start this adventure, I had 800 compile errors left over.
I did just start another "nightly" run on SchilliX-0.2.2 and I am in
hope that I will be able to get a result that has less than 300 compile
errors left.
My big problem is that my test machine is slow and every single test
takes many hours.....
