Thanks that was very helpful. I had a Solaris11 OVA and I ran the pkg install developer/gcc-11 and it did lots of things but afterward there was no gcc program installed (I searched the entire disk for "*gcc*"). Weird. So then I installed OpenIndiana based on your notes and that succeeded and I was able to build make and run the tests. Unfortunately I wasn't able to reproduce the problem; all tests passed for me (I'm using a build where the ar issue is already fixed). I tried with 1 CPU as well just to be sure. Sigh! I wonder what can be different about what I'm doing and what you're doing. Maybe it's related to how the tests are run; I suppose you're using some sort of automated testing framework? Maybe there's no TTY or something? Can you briefly describe how the tests are invoked?
