I've just succeeded in getting all doctests to pass on Solaris. After updating sqlite, which awaits review at:

http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/8408

as well as the following (some need review)

    * #7867 Python patch, to allow Sage library to build.
    * #8191 Addition of iconv, which is needed for R
    * #8285 Update R's spkg-install to work on Solaris
    * #8363 Remove a useless check for mpir in cddlib
    * #8375 Numerical noise in devel/sage/sage/symbolic/pynac.pyx
    * #8374 Numerical noise in devel/sage/sage/symbolic/constants_c.pyx
* #8371 Patch to allow pyprocessing to build - it failed after python was patched as #7867. (Note #6503 aims to remove pyprocessing completely).

ALL the Solaris doctests pass on my Blade 1000!!!

Prior to updating sqlite, 5 tests were failing, but the sqlite update sorted them all out.

The longest test is taking about 460 s on my 10-year old machine, but I rekon on 't2' one would have to set SAGE_TIMEOUT to 2000 s to be safe, as 't2', which is designed for very different tasks, is significantly slower than my machine.

I suspect someone will manage to break something in the next release, but if the release is handled carefully, it should be possible to produce a Sage which not only builds on Solaris, but passed all doctests too.

I have not yet run the long doctests. (Perhaps I'm frightened too!)
