Umm... no.  But this is hardly the place for a "My Kernel's Better  
Than Your Kernel" discussion, so let's just all play nice :)

FWIW, to the OP... if you want an easier way to manage your GNOME  
dependencies on Solaris, and don't need support from Sun, you might  
want to investigate the Solaris apt package repository at http:// 
blastwave.org.

If you prefer to build from source, some of the tools that we use to  
build GNOME and various other things for Solaris from RPM spec files  
might be of interest (although they currently work better with the  
SunStudio compiler than with gcc):

http://pkgbuild.sourceforge.net http://www.opensolaris.org/os/ 
community/desktop/communities/jds/building

Some community-contributed spec files, including gtkmm:
http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pkgbuild/spec-files-extra/trunk/

Cheeri,
Calum.
