Managed to get trunk to compile with Solaris 10, csw gcc4 + the solaris
bintools (ar/ld/etc).  The Sun Studio compiler appears too defective to
build the source tree.  Had to hack pkgconfig since it is very old in the
csw and the m4 macros for pkgconfig in the version are out of date.

I haven't posted all patches yet because some are hard to separate out.  I
receive a segfault after getting everything to link, and csw gdb reboots my
kvm machine.  I took a look at the core and it looks related to how the ip
addresses are found in the system (which is not defined by Posix and done
differently on each OS).

I'll post the remainder of the patches I have available tomorrow (bed time
now) to get a building solaris tree and we can work on getting the kinks
out.

If you have network experience, please have a look at  totemip_iface_check
and see if you know of examples for executing the functionality.

The Ipc system will need work around the security features since it checks
uid/gid of connecting socket.  This can be done in Solaris and there may be
code in the tree or one of the tags to do this now.  I'll have to get a
non-segfaulting system before I can address that.

The solaris dl library doesn't properly execute constructors in dlopen
shared objects, but i've got a workaround in my test tree which is somewhat
unsanitary but only affects Solaris.

i notice the csw says they dont take alpha/beta software.  You should be
aware that we are entering the final stages of release and planning our rc
in approximately 7-10 days.
