Yes... ;-)

I do have gcc 2.7.2 available with all the stuff I'd need, but: I'd like to
use Sun's CC because it uses standard Sun shared libs in standard places, so
that I can use the compiled stuff (when no errors and warnings will arouse
during compilation) on all future Solaris versions (and log a bug report
against Sun provided tools, and not having to tweak HylaFAX sources!)... (BTW:
I'm doing Solaris 2.6 Beta test, and that's one of the reason why I no longer
want to use gcc... One other is, that there seems no real further development
of gcc (is there an Ultra-Sparc version? Or a version for native IRIX 6.2? Or
a version for the 64 bit version of IRIX 6.2 (IRIX646)? Just to ask some
questions concerning gcc/g++... ;-) )).

I'd hoped, I might find anyone out there in netland who had done all that
already, but it seems, I have to do it... And due to the fact, that the actual
versions of Sun's C/C++ Compilers don't accept .c++ as an extension I have to
tweak the Makefiles in order to add some "renaming stuff"...

Or is there still someone out there who actually already did it?

Sincerly,
        Matthias
