I've been able to compile and run libmill on ancient solaris version running on ancient SPARC box:

SunOS 5.10 Generic_141414-10 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-100

The only problem seem to be signals used in two tests (chan, signals). Those two tests fail in weird ways.

Maybe we should use sigaction(2), instead of signal(2). But do you want to support ancient solaris?

It's just that I have an access to the box. I haven't expected it to work but, surprisingly, it did. The fact that it works on a RISC processor is good news as well.

Too many unknowns here, ancient computer, uncommon microarchitecture, different OS. We should try on Solaris/Illumos on a modern hardware rather. Closing the ticket for now.
