No. Today I was able to produce a gcj/libgcj combination on Solaris 2.6 (egcs-20000110,
libgcj-snapshot-2000-01-12). I can report that wait/notify on Solaris 2.6 does not
work for me either. To reproduce the problem one can use the WebServer java code
which I used to demonstrate the problem on Solaris 2.7. With the help of `truss`
I can see that the behaviour is a bit different. On Solaris 2.6 signotifywait()
and lwp_cond_wait() are never executed. Unfortunately right now I don't have the
time to dive into that further. Sorry.
