Questionable new-build failure

[Kelly O'Hair]

Please file JBS Issues.

And keep in mind every "Solaris 10" system could be different.
It depends on which Solaris 10 Update it is, and also potentially if it has all the latest patches or not.
We try and use Solaris 10u6 for building, usually with all latest required and recommended patches.

The changes to Solaris 10, via Updates and even patches has become quite aggressive, at least much
more aggressive than in the past. Which creates quite a moving target for anyone using the utilities
or expecting the exact same behaviors. I realize that this may be a goodness to some people. ;^)

And it's not easy to determine what you have.
Solaris 11 has introduced a 'uname -v' which will tell you if it is 11.0 or 11.1 (Update 1), but Solaris 10
does not have that. Best you can do is look at the /etc/release file.
