Thanks Milan:

The things we are working on would remain private.  I would plan on generating 
them using an opensolaris machine running a ONNV installation close to what we 
will be running on the product.  Eventually, would like to be able to cross 
compile them from a different machine, possibly running Linux.

As far as cc/ld flags necessary for generating the kernel modules, is that 
formally documented somewhere, or do I just look to ONNV modules for examples?

thanks
Mark
