sun solaris gnu 2.92.2
>Description:
Hi,

we tried en experimental installation of gcj and libgcj on 
sun under solaris.

gcj came completely with gnu 2.95.2.

after downloading and installing the libgc library (FAQ 
hint 3.3 [mkdir build ..] and FAQ hint 4.7 [correct 
configuring of both libgcj and gcj with same -prefix dir] 
have both been attended to!) it was possible to compile
and link simple programs.

but after starting these programs are crashing with 
segmentation fault error.

Looking in the java-prs, i found many segmentation fault 
problems, none of them giving a hint how to solve this 
problem (at least for me).

Thank you 

Frank Braun

 Have you considered 5.1?

State-Changed-Why:
    You didn't say what release of Solaris you are running, but if it is a fairly recent one (say 2.7 
    up), then there is a known problem with the garbage collector in libgcj 2.95.1 on that platform.
    
    The fix is to upgrade to a newwer libgcj from cvs, which means upgrading your compiler 
    as well. 
    
    If you don't agree that this is the problem, get back to me
    and I will reopen this PR.

 The current compiler doesn't compile libgcj at the moment.
