I am not sure if you did understand the problem.
A main problem for OpenSolaris based distros is that ON is not self contained.
This means that ON itself is not complete enough to make a minimal distro out
of it.
People who like to create even a minimal distro are forced to grab the
related sources from elsewhere and to find a way to compile in a way that makes
it work. This is not necessarily the same way Sun did do it....
