Speaking as someone who has in the past built NetBSD on (Open)Solaris, I 
am not averse to this change.

Building a modern version of GCC on something old like Solaris 10 isn't 
the easiest thing in the world, especially if you want to do a competent 
job of it, but it really does just boil down to managing GCC's 
dependencies. Once you are done, not only can you build NetBSD, but you 
have a modern competently installed version of GCC on your obviously 
important Solaris box.

Cheers,
Lloyd
