Not is necessary to use gnu c lib or gcc itself to use rpm on Solaris: for
maximum portability i raccomend rpm5 (http://rpm5.org) of course. RPM5 has
been ported to many platform, with a mixture of diverse compiler and
different c library as µClibc. OTHO, if you want a simple porting of rpm5 on
solaris 10 you can use the openpkg  http://www.openpkg.org/  project. AFAICT
most client sun use it.
