No doubt.  It's not possible to build Nevada on an S10 system, which
is why the SX:CR release exists.

"Everything."

Or, rather, we have no documentation of it.  Many things have changed
between Solaris 10 and the latest Solaris Express, some of which have
internal cross-dependencies with the ON consolidation.

There's no documented (or known) way to "update" an S10 system such
that it will build the current ON sources, other than upgrading that
system to SX.

Do the build with "__GNUC=" in order to force the use of gcc in
building ON.  By default, it compiles with Sun's compiler and with gcc
as a shadow to make certain that source changes don't cause breakage
in either case.
