Re: 2008Q1 bootstrap issues under solaris 10u4?

For some reason I haven't seen my post, nor anyone's replies, so am
relying on the archive to craft this reply:

aaah ... that would make sense

I'd be happy to do so, if someone could give me pointers ... :)

also, I've run into an issue when compiling screen - when built
on a Solaris 10 08/07 (update 4) host, it gets linked against
/usr/lib/libcrypt_d.so.1 however this file appears to be missing on
Solaris 10 03/05 ... would I therefore have to compile all my pkgsrc on
03/05 hosts if I wanted to support both 03/05 and 08/07?

actually, going further, we have some Solaris 8 hosts as well, so
perhaps I should do my compiles on one of those ... in general how
portable are pkgsrc packages compiled for older Solaris platforms when
using them on more recent versions?

Malcolm
