RE: Solaris GCC maintainer question...
I'm very interested in your results. Also, which version would you be
trying to patch? Version 4.4.1, or the current development branch?
Thanks...

Ian Taylor already filed PR libstdc++/41495 for the fact that
--enable-clocale=ieee_1003.1-2001 doesn't build. I'll try the trivial
patch for this (defining _GLIBCXX_NUM_CATEGORIES as 0) and see how far
this
gets me. If this produces strictly better results than generic, we can
change the libstdc++-v3 default for Solaris (maybe depending on the
Solaris
version if it doesn't work everywhere).
