Hi,
So
@Adam
I sent you the files you requested to your personal email (outside mailing
list)

@Jonathan :
I put the flags in my mk.conf. Unfortunately it changed nothing.


@Chavdar
Good thing to see Python 3.10 working on Solaris 10 x86_64. However I've
seens cases where something works on x86_64  but not on sparc64. We'll have
to keep that in mind.
