Don't bother with Solaris in 2.0.x, it won't work at all. None of the  
Solaris fixes from 2.1.1 have been merged (some date back to  
February). I've attached a patch which enables me to compile at least  
the rtl and the compiler (and fixing sparc actually made me discover  
a quite serious generic bug) for Sparc/Linux. I can't test whether  
the result actually runs though, since I don't have access to a Sparc/ 
Linux system.

The diff was taken from the root of the fpcsrc directory.
