No. Forgot to tell my latest experience.

1) postgres 7.0.2 compiles great on Solaris 7 and Solaris 8.
2) postgres cvs (latest download) doesn't compile (same error on both) on 
Solaris 7 nor Solaris 8.

So it isn't a Solaris 7 problem, but a Solaris problem. ;-)
I just wish we could install linux on one of these SPARC to have something 
good running. ;-)

Saludos... :-)
