Right - I do wonder that about this machine (whether it's worth supporting,
not whether its compiler supports C99). Here's what we're talking about:

-bash-3.00$ cat /etc/release
                       Solaris 10 11/06 s10s_u3wos_10 SPARC

                           Assembled 14 November 2006
-bash-3.00$ prtconf -b
name:  SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000
model:  SUNW,501-6230
