A couple of questions: * Would it be possible to use the same technique for Solaris/x86 or Linux/x86, too? Both versions of Studio 11 provide libsunir.so as well. * Maybe it would be possible to perform further development on a vendor branch in the GCC svn repository? I'm not sure if this would require SC buy-in, though. Perhaps the changes might become acceptible for FSF GCC at some point in time; there have been discussions over at opensolaris.org about opening the sources to the Sun compilers. Thanks.
