That sounds like it could be worse than I thought :-(. Sure I will have more questions if I try it. When I build the cross-compiler do I need to specify any options other than the --target you mentioned? I still use the gnu Linux linker at this point, correct? Am I supposed to create the same path to the Solaris libraries and system files on my Linux box when I build the cross compiler as are in use on the Solaris machine?
