Argh.  Somehow my brain managed to mangle the meaning of the third
paragraph.  I think it was the mention of "Solaris x86 2.5" followed by
"For older".  Mea culpa.

As a side note, your comments about the 64-bitness aperture driver clash
with Section 3 Point 1 Paragraph 3 of the README.Solaris file:

"On SPARCs, regardless of the compiler you use, ensure it generates 32-bit
binaries.  At this time, 64-bit binaries will probably not work."

This comment was the reason why I specifically chose gcc 2.95.3 rather
than going to a newer version which would have a better shot at 64-bit
binaries.

In addition, the README.Solaris spends an awful lot of lines on
"unsupported" VT-switching before even getting to XFree86 compiling
and configuration.

Perhaps the whole README.Solaris needs a good, solid rewrite to match the
current state of XFree86.

Anyhow ... back to compiling.

Thanks for your patience on this,
