So, you mean, this examination of 100.000 files might just take longer than
I was willing to wait for it?
I just tried to give it another shot and applied "--dry-run" to, let's say,
speed up the process:
unexpected EOF in read_timeout
Received signal 16. (no core)
At different points.
I'll do a live run now, leave it running (hanging/waiting?) for maybe an
hour or two, and see what happens.

I do see your point, and I would really like to help you out. In fact, in
the Linux and *BSD environments I usually work in, I compile my own stuff
almost all of the time.
But what I have here is a nasty kind of production environment, no real clue
about Solaris and:
$ make
bash: make: command not found
I basically don't believe there is a whole lot I can do. Pretty sucky
situation. :-/
Ttyl,
