The CHANGES file for 1.1 contains this note regarding this platform:
*) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
[Andy Polyakov]
Can someone please publish some more details about what Solaris and/or
compiler versions showed problems?
Also were tests failing or were compiles/links failing?
I've tested this configuration with 1.1.0c using an older vendor
compiler version and everything seems to work just fine using the -KPIC
flag. I don't see anywhere in the build log where the assembler is
being invoked directly.
My compiler is:
cc: Sun C 5.10 SunOS_i386 Patch 142363-05 2010/04/28
usage: cc [ options] files. Use 'cc -flags' for details
thanks,
Norm Green
