I've done that before.  In fact, that's what I'm using now.  Well, it's 
actually 1.3b, and I built it on Solaris 9, but it's close.

Well, yes, yes it does, but I've been rebuilding all the gnu apps that 
my users use as 64-bit Solaris 8 binaries.  Everything used to be a 
32-bit Solaris 2.5.1 binary.  My first goal was to get a 64-bit Mozilla 
built, and, after weeks of compiling all the dependencies and their 
dependencies as 64-bit, I have come up against this wall.
