Now that I've tried to apply these chnages, it seems I alread have
changes in the CVS tree which are effectively equivalent. However, there
is no /usr/bin.make on my solaris box. So I can't confirm that my
changes work for you. I would very much appreciate it if you would try
building the one of the nightly snapshots (there are links on
http://netsaintplug.sourceforge.net).

Please report your results, as solaris build is one of two sritical
items for the 1.2.9-4 release. (The other is posix-state-defs, which
testing request I will repost as I have gotten only one response to the
request for testing.
