Thanks for your help! Only one more question: I don't have an assembler
installed yet, and on www.sunfeeware.com there's no package for this
version of gcc yet, do you have any idea where I can find it? Apparently
it should also be included as a package on the Solaris CD-ROM, but I
can't find out which package to install... And if not available as a
package, any help on how to install it would also be very welcome :-)
