Ironically, I couldn't get the stable tree to work (using mirror.ac.uk
anyway).

Either way I've added a page to the wiki called "CompilingOnSolaris"
with a rough guide on adding the right Blastwave packages and your
configure line.

I've managed to get it building now, using your configure line. I've had
a couple of unit test failures too, but I'm re-running it just in case
(which isn't terribly quick on an 500MHz UltraSPARC IIe...)

I've also found various problems with FreeBSD but I'll drop a separate
email about that later.
