      so - of course, we're happy to merge patches, help out & so on; but in
the past there has been a certain amount of cruft and pain in the
project to make it build with the oddish Solaris compilers. Personally,
I'd strongly prefer a future where we built only with free compilers on
Mac/cross-compile-to-windows/Linux and other places.

From what I've heard from *Solaris application developers/packagers, the
old Sun compilers are beeing dropped left and right.
It seems Oracle has also borked this product line...

      Having said all that, personally I'd concentrate on getting 3.4.x
building if you're desperate for a stable version, 3.4.2 will be out in
a month, freeze in 2 weeks and can have your fixes in it by then; but
I'd go for building on master and back-porting those myself :-)

Master is also reasonably okay for day-to day work; I have been using
snapshots without trouble with small .odt or .ods documents for the last
two month or so...
