... and support for Solaris 9 has been obsoleted 5 years ago. This
obsoletion means nothing more than that there will be no GCC 10 and
beyond supporting Solaris 10. While GCC 9 remains supported, it will
continue to build on Solaris 10.
At some point it will be much the same as IRIX enthusiasts still using
GCC 4.7 to build software for IRIX 6.5 :-)
