Pretty much. I saw that you ran the nevada kernel and build 57. I
never ran Nexenta, but now found out that its uname does mention it
and the blaswave packages do not run on it. But Solaris Express seems
to be a lot more current than Solaris 10, just look at the difference
between Solaris 9 and 10 to get an idea many problems just vanish
between those two releases.

Regarding the GNU tools: I installed those from the official Solaris
10 DVD and then build my own environment. I am curious if my issues
will go away with Solaris Express, but I still need to be able to
build on 9 & 10. For example: the math department at Dortmund they
still runs Solaris 9 on all Sparc hardware and there are no plans to
introduce 10, much less run Solaris Express. Only recently the Solaris
8 boxen were upgraded, so Solaris installations have a tendency to
stick around quite some time (which shouldn't come as a surprise to
anybody who ever worked on/with Solaris - if it ain't broken, don't
fix it)

I don't think we should support Sage in Solaris/x86 on anything older
but 10, but for Sparc support for 9 would be good.

Sounds like the solution. I really dislike the fact that pkgadd cannot
deal with dependencies properly. But it is common practice to
statically link gmp & mpfr against any gcc compiler, 4.2. actually
warns you about dynamic libraries if I recall correctly.
