%  Old by date, but still, it's the previous release :) His problems are

Well, I just started with his statement that an old version of gcc only
gets about 4 lines into the process :-)

%  o contrib/pgp6.rc is missing from the distribution,

Yep.  Acknowledged.

%  In there is a bug in make install for doc/muttrc.man if mutt is built
%   outside the source directory.
%  
%  While Sun ships a few crappy tools, make is quite decent. And the C compiler
%  (commercial, not the defunct stub in /usr/ucb) is quite good as well.

I know that the sparcworks compiler package is good, but I didn't know
that one in /usr/ccs was any good.  I'm a happy Sun bigot, myself,
and do a lot on them :-)  Maybe I'll have to check into compiliing...
