Erm, I've just tested 7.1RC1 on Solaris 8 x86 and SPARC. Solaris x86
works without any problems and passes the regression test (apart from
a few very small roundoff errors in the geometry tests). However, on
Solaris SPARC tests randomly fail (like someone else reported too). I've
tried running configure without any options and the options given above,
but the results were the same. I'm using gcc 2.95.3. I'll see if I can
give the cvs version and gcc 2.95.2 a try tomorrow. Same goes for
Solaris 7 SPARC and maybe Solaris 2.6 SPARC.

Cheers,
