GCC for Sun Systems
Ok, so I'm going to have to talk about compiler releases again. That's twice in two days. Again, this is an interesting release. GCC for SPARC Systems has become GCC for Sun Systems, the change in name reflects a new functionality as a cross-compiler. GCC for Sun Systems can be run on an x86 box and build SPARC binaries. Installation is a bit complex since building a SPARC binary requires SPARC header files, but other than setting up access to the files from a SPARC machine, the entire process looks pretty easy. So it should be possible to do all the development work locally on an x86 laptop, then copy the final binary over to a SPARC machine for testing.

Can this be used to build the OpenSolaris ONNV repository ?

Yes, it can build it, but there might be some minor source changes required.
