It really is a shame about that compile farm going away.

Yes, I usually check for "defined(sun) && defined(__SVR4)".

It can; the option for thisis "-xM".

I should be able to spend some more time on it tonight.

Yes. We actually talked about this a couple of years ago, then I
got busy and couldn't do it on my end. Maybe we can do it now.

I understand. I can probably help with this; I've just set up a
large VMware host machine here since I now need to support some
consulting clients running VMware. It runs full-time, and it is WAY
overpowered for my immediate needs (two SCO virtual machines). I can
easily spin up a few more VMs on it and get you Solaris/x86, NetBSD/
i386 and possibly FreeBSD, if it runs nicely under VMware (which it
probably does).
Do you have a shell script or something set up to pull from svn
and do a build? If so, and if it were self-contained and relatively
portable, it'd make this very easy to set up.

This is on UltraSPARC, as that's my primary platform here, as well
as that of my employer, so I have plenty of capacity available.
