Comment (by jdemeyer):

 Replying to [comment:6 jpflori]:
 > According to Wikipedia, there are 4.1.x releases and a 5.5.1 whence the
 filtering I used, i.e. only keep 5.1[0-9]* thinking that would be enough
 for the next decade unless Oracle decides to go for 6.x.
 > But I guess nobody will ever try to build Sage on 4.1.x or 5.5.1 so it's
 not that problematic.
 > Not even sure more than a couple of people actually build it for actual
 usage on 5.10 and 5.11...
 Exactly, I wouldn't worry about SunOS/Solaris versions too much. I think
 it's more important that future versions correctly, than that we catch
 older non-working versions.
