Thanks for trying it out!  You are right.

The current prototype works (with bugs) on Solaris/x86/32 only.  It  
builds (and works on standard programs) on other Solaris platforms  
but not yet on Windows or Linux.

(I develop on a Solaris/VMware/MacBook/x86 stack, so that's what  
happens first.)

Thanks for pointing out those problems with gcc compilability.  There  
are similar problems on windows.

I could use help with the sparc and x86/64 assembly code, too.  If  
you would like to jump in, don't forget to sign the SCA https://
