Yeah, there is a ZFS storage box, but I wouldn't count the VMware
images :)
Anyway, I forgot to mention that clisp is broken with any gcc after
3.2.3 and you need clisp 2.47 + some fixes to get it to build on Sparc
at all and have it work :), so I have a binary clisp 2.47.spkg for
Solaris/Sparc. It isn't on sage.math yet, but it will be soon enough.
The long term plan is to fix everything so that the SFW toolchain will
build Sage on Solaris, at least in 32 bit mode. This will require
fixes to support g77 again for example, but since I need to do that
for Cygwin anyway it isn't far away. Besides that there are also
various ld fixes that we do need since some code in Sage is dependent
on GNU ld semantics and so on, but I know all the issues, just need to
find time to fix them :)
Cheers,
Michael
