Hi Dongsheng,

thanks a lot for doing this.

Given those numbers and the fact that sparc-sun-solaris2.11 is already a
primary platform, I wonder if we should make i386-pc-solaris2.11
secondary.  Sometimes there are significant differences between SPARC
and x86 here (often in favor of x86, actually).
