[COLUG] OT: Linux build tools on Solaris

[Dave Reed]

I've got some Solaris systems at work that I want to compile a buch of
stuff that I come with Linux distributions.

I've been compiling a number of packages and eventually ran into
strndup not being a defined symbol. I'm assuming Sun's libc doesn't
have it while glibc does.

Here's what I'm thinking about doing on Solaris:

After compiling gcc, compile the following gnu packages:
binutils
glibc
m4
autoconf
automake
libtool
readline

Has anyone done this? And is this the correct order or should I
compile glibc before binutils?

Thanks,
Dave
