Shall do, pkg-config needs to be installed manually also, as there
isn't a package for it. Some testing for the binutils segfault
requires specific versions, but once that's done, I'll be able to
update the requirements.

Hard to say when the next release will be. They started with a May and
Nov release cycle, but have slipped behind. From the website:
OpenSolaris 2010.02
We're in the early stages of producing our next release, OpenSolaris
2010.03. Stay tuned!

Admittedly, I've lost my enthusiasm for Open Solaris, it hasn't
evolved greatly since it's first release over four years ago, and I
can't see that changing. Maybe they have a focus on stability, and
have to think about going from gcc 3.4 to 4.x, or give priority to the
Sun Studio tools. If they can't respond to a security vulnerability (a
very obscure one, I know) by updating a package, it's hard to see when
they'll get around to it:
