Yes.

The successful build is the result NOT configuring with "--with-xmlj" 


When I build I submit the test results to help the community. The test results
posted show that the numbers of FAILs is similar to other platforms, thus it is
a "successful" build (but without "--with-xmlj" which I would add if it did not
block the build).


The number of PASSes for the C compiler is very high and this version of GCC
(4.2.1) is one of the higher 4.2.x series that can be built. There are other
bug reports here by other people who were unable to build other 4.2.x versions
on OpenSolaris. I hope I have explained the significance of my post adequately.

Blows own horn. This is a milestone for the month old operating system.


I am not expert enough in Java to be the one who would fix this for us all.
Even if I was I would be opening this report to post the fix. 

Please do not close this bug unless it is either:
1. Fixed.
2. Decided it will not be fixed.

Here they are (from a successful build, no "--with-xmlj"):
