Yes, that's correct.  But all versions of solaris support 32-bits apps
just fine.

That's also correct.  I think it's possible to add MP, but I've never
needed it, so I never did.  Don't think it would be too hard to do;
basically port over a few vops for stack switching/copying, and update
some of the stuff in multiproc.lisp to handle alien objects correctly.
