Re: installer misidentifies illumos OS

    carson@yoknapatawpha:/etc$ cat /etc/release
                  OpenIndiana Hipster 2025.10 (powered by illumos)

It looks like that might be the only way, since these

  - Without a C compiler, the result is i386-pc-solaris2.11
  - With a C compiler (gcc), the result is x86_64-pc-solaris2.11

are the same results as on an "Oracle Solaris" machine.

But, it surprises me that illumos ends with 2.*11* -- if it's based on
2.10, why should it be reporting itself as 2.11? What is uname -a?
OTOH, if it's reporting itself as 2.11, shouldn't 2.11 binaries be
supported?

Oh well, whatever. I'll try to figure out some way to distinguish.
