 Mute point as the lib distribution is being addressed but with your statement
that Solaris Express is not dependent on Java and the libs that are dependent
on it for install process in order for a functional Solaris OS are you saying 
that
Belinix should be the standard which Solaris Express should follow?  Or Solaris
shouldn't be dependent on Java for the OS to function in general?

No, I did not mean that. The question was "How could communtiy OpenSolaris distros function without needed system libraries being present ?". So I pointed out that libCrun is not a system library, but a compiler specific runtime which is not necessary for the base
  OS to function.

Various apps/utilities may depend upon libC however. Such apps and libCrun are bundled with Solaris Express. Thus Solaris Express which is SUN's distro of OpenSolaris includes software that are dependent on libCrun but base OpenSolaris does not require libCrun.
