I've recently updated a patch for Emacs on Sparc, see URL. It was successfully tested under Linux and FreeBSD. Can you please update it also in Prefix, and test if it works under Solaris (not necessarily in this order)?
next sync should have it.

> So now what/how to test? The relevant code is called in the lisp garbage collector, so I guess any usage pattern will be good to test it. "C-h v gcs-done RET" will show the number of garbage collections done. Also emerging some heavy package like app-emacs/cedet might be a good test; I wouldn't expect its build to succeed if Emacs has problems in its garbage collector.

(In reply to comment #5) > all seems to have installed fine. Looks good? Looks good to me. Thanks a lot for your testing.
