(Thanks Dave!)
You are welcome.

but can be a pain to determine (across various linux distributions) if it
is enabled. Even from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04, this changed, and both are
inconsistent with the Debian installations I've tried. So, I'm not
incredibly optimistic here.
You do not surprise me. I came to the same conclusion on Solaris too.

We should be able to get all the parameters that gcc was configured with
{{{
drkir...@hawk:~$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: i386-pc-solaris2.11
Configured with: /export/home/drkirkby/gcc-4.4.4/configure

}}}
that lot can be very useful to know.

OK.

How do you propose to get the disk space? I came to the conclusion that
was quite difficult, and have not found a way.
> It looks like the OS-X commands are somewhat straightforward, and the
hardware is much more standardized there. Dave: We have a couple of lists
of relevant Sunos commands... can we develop a single list of what is
useful and what isn't? I have Open Solaris on a machine and so testing
won't be an issue.
Yes. It's late here. I will get onto that after some sleep.

The cpu information for at least one of the machines changed (since I
thought 'uniq' would apply 'sort' and it doesn't... meaning that the cores
/cpu-count is off).
> * I also added the correct greps to attempt to get information from
those Itaniums. My best guess as to why those topology numbers are so
strange is that those machines may actually accept 4 processors, but only
have 2 plugged in.
It might be worth giving memconf a try, to see what it finds. I'm not
suggesting including that, but it might confirm your guesses.
If that's not the case, then it's buggy and there just aren't enough
people using those cpus to make it worth fixing.
