Thanks, Kai, for your interest.

I gave up on this thread, and started a new one,
much more successful:

   Has anyone actually built emacs 21.3 for SOLARIS (sparc)?

I've gotten lots of help on that one.  Please go
have a look; you'll surely have something worthwhile
to add.

My idea (promise) was to try to distill all the different
(and conflicting!) responses, get them verified by the
group, and then see if rms will include them or something
like them in the emacs INSTALL file, or maybe an INSTALL-ADDENDUM.
