Thank you Marshall.
Hopefully, Solaris can soon become "fully supported" if all tests are passing.
As long as the releases are handled carefully, and code not committed that
breaks on Solaris, we should be able to get OpenSolaris building.
Having a faster machine than 't2' on sage.math would be really nice. It's a real
shame, as 't2' is capable of very high performance at low power consumption for
the tasks it is designed for, but I find using a 10-year old machine quicker for
Sage development.

I've just succeeded in getting all doctests to pass on Solaris. After updating
sqlite, which awaits review at:
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/8408
as well as the following (some need review)
* #7867 Python patch, to allow Sage library to build.
* #8191 Addition of iconv, which is needed for R
* #8285 Update R's spkg-install to work on Solaris
* #8363 Remove a useless check for mpir in cddlib
* #8375 Numerical noise in devel/sage/sage/symbolic/pynac.pyx
* #8374 Numerical noise in devel/sage/sage/symbolic/constants_c.pyx
* #8371 Patch to allow pyprocessing to build - it failed after python was
patched as #7867. (Note #6503 aims to remove pyprocessing completely).
ALL the Solaris doctests pass on my Blade 1000!!!
Prior to updating sqlite, 5 tests were failing, but the sqlite update sorted
them all out.
The longest test is taking about 460 s on my 10-year old machine, but I rekon on
't2' one would have to set SAGE_TIMEOUT to 2000 s to be safe, as 't2', which is
designed for very different tasks, is significantly slower than my machine.
I suspect someone will manage to break something in the next release, but if the
release is handled carefully, it should be possible to produce a Sage which not
only builds on Solaris, but passed all doctests too.
I have not yet run the long doctests. (Perhaps I'm frightened too!)
