I didn't send PR for bootstrap. But I send PR for some packages and are
integrated. thanks to pkgsrc's developper :)
I didn't write doc. I must do it.

Solaris10 gcc stuff have little bug. The wrapper i use is also a patch!
try : gcc -m64 -print-search-dirs
the result is wrong for 'libraries' parts.
some file are empty in the distrib of solaris10:
    /usr/sfw/lib/libstdc++.la
    /usr/sfw/lib/64/libstdc++.la
    /usr/sfw/lib/libsupc++.la
    /usr/sfw/lib/64/libsupc++.la
    
Pkgsrc's patch are often like the last patch i send for deve/nss (PR/35139):

You need this wrapper for solaris because the result of gcc -print-search-dirs
is wrong. this command is use by some package to configure itself.
Yes i had a look at IRIX work and use it :)

I also strongly wish this wrapper at ENST, because i want all students working
on our workstations use, develop and compile in 64bit default.

Next step, for me,  is to write and fully explain what i am doing.
