Compiles fine now, though I need to bring the other fluff around it in
place so I can see if it runs. Early Sunday morning, I hope I can figure it
out again. *yawn*

Oh, there are binary packages of GCC 2+3 for Solaris available that in turn
can build themselves. So no problem with the compiler. 

I enjoy Linux on my workstations and on servers which I have direct access
to as much as the next guy, but the remote management features of the Sun

religiously, though. Only hoping to pick the right tool for a job I want to 
do. :-)
