Hi guys,

thank you for looking into this.
While implementing this fallback mechanism would definitely solve that problem,
I do not think it is worth the effort given the fact that user base of running
Solaris as a desktop OS is pretty minimal (and further shrinking).
As long as there is a reasonable way to build pcb on Solaris (and apparently
there is one), I am fine with the current state of things.

Thanks again,
Jan
