:-) We have a standard answer for this (and all such questions). You
might not like it though. The answer is, give it a try and see if it
works. Often, things `just work'. This isn't an accident but a
deliberate result of the style we use. All my coworkers know my
typical answer to just about any question, `it just works'. The other
standard answer is, as soon as _you_ declare it. This second one
underscores the reality that this is a all volunteer effort. And
things only get done when someone does them.
One way to test the compiler, is to grab dejagnu off the gcc ftp site,
from the infrastructure directory, install it, and then make check in
gcc. Numbers <40 are fairly good. Numbers >40 are suspect. You can
do this twice, once of solaris 2.5.1 say, and once of Solaris 8, to
get a feel for a well supported target.
