Have you been in touch with Phil Nelson <phil_at_cs.wwu.edu>. He already
has a server running on Solaris, although I don't know what version.
He checked the changes he needed into the CVS tree. Currently Phil is
hacking his way throuh the kernel module for the client.

On the topic of the CFLAGS, with egcs we also needed to add
-fno-exceptions to the CFLAGS, since the exception handling breaks with
our LWP package (user level threads). Also, not all Makefiles are
correctly inheriting the CFLAGS, my initial quick hack was to define
CXX="g++ -fno-exceptions". Later on I added it to the configure script,
and -fpermissive could probably be added in the same way.
