Solaris 10 patch. I don’t know that it’s the best way, but I tried
to make somewhat clean. Feel free to rewrite/suggest anything. Note that
Solaris 10 removed the ability to compile libc static, and I don’t know
if we think it’s worth the effort, so I just made checks to disable it for
SunOS.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

It looks /dev/mem only contains ram on solaris, not the complete address<br>
space.<br>
<br>
There's a workaround, try using /dev/xsvc instead. It is part of X (or<br>
XFree?) as it seems.<br>
