let me clarify a little bit on what GNU/Solaris distro is.
The idea behind it is simple: do not re-invent the wheel and try to
re-use existing 17000 high quality Debian packages, Debian

Very valid point.
Would be nice if all opensolaris-based distros could guarantee to run
unmodified C binaries. There are quite a few ways to achive that.

Someone opened a bug at NBTS:

Any ideas or workarounds? Just hoping that this issue is well know and

PS: I don't know which mailing lists to use in case of bug reports like this
one, so, I'm posting here.

One of the goals of GNU/OpenSolaris project is to track all changes and
bugs progress on porting/enhancing OSS projects which are not
distributed by SUN but part of any regular GNU/Linux distribution like
Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.

Very good point and a right concern (to some degree) IMHO...
As J.S. mentioned before, in the future we should expect at least 2
types of OpenSolaris-based distros:
a) GNU-centric, those who trying to re-use GNU/Linux as much as possible
b) Solaris-centric, those who trying to mimic Solaris as
