I can get access to several boxes with Solaris 8 + gcc 2.95 ( maybe not
right-up-to-the minute latest patches, but fairly recently patched).

They are firewalled off from the internet with abolutely no chance of
external access, but I can build whatever is required ( Pg 7.3.1 is
already installed from source) and upload it to techdocs.postgresql.org
(or similar).

...I've never tried to create a Solaris package so I will need answers
to all the usual dumb questions - including what extra configure options
are required as I've been building with *none* :-)
