Re: pkgsrc bootstrap fails on Tribblix

[Hung Nguyen Gia <gh_origin%zohomail.com@localhost>]

Forcing --abi 32 resulted in the target being i486-sun-solaris2.11.

What? I think it should be i386-sun-solaris2.11?

On Illumos, there are only two target: i386-sun-solaris2.11 and x86_64-sun-solaris2.11

What is i486-sun-solaris2.11?

I tried to build editors/joe and it failed with this linker error:
