Hi There,

I'm project lead for OpenIndiana, the community continuation of OpenSolaris.

We currently build the whole OS using Sun Studio, which is closed source. We
are seriously investigating switching from Sun Studio, to GCC, in particular
4.5.3. However the lack of ieee 1003.1-2001 support is holding us back
committing to this.

Would the author of the patch be able to comment on the stability and
completeness of it? What work is outstanding? What would it take to complete
this work, and would the author of the patch be interested in completing this?
If so, is there anything our project could do to assist?

We can provide Solaris Zones (Both Solaris 10 and OpenIndiana ones) for
development on powerful Dual-Quad Core servers if this would be of benefit.

Many thanks!

Kind Regards,

Alasdair
