GNOME on sun

[Jean Raymond Chauviere <Jean-Raymond Chauviere cetelem fr>]

I tried to compile gnome on a sun solaris 2.7 but didn't succeed.
a library libdb is needed. It takes part of the glibc.
The glibc isn't ported on sun.
I HAVE TO RECOMPILE, I can't get get binaries from an ftp server.
( sometimes my boss have strange ideas..)

Any help would be appreciated (ideas, workarounds ....)
