The question:

> cc, as required by pidentd for Sol8 64 bit). The binary runs on a
> Sparc 20 running Sol8 MU3, but does not appear to run on the Blade.

The answer (thanks to Kevin Buterbaugh):

We got cc for the Blade, compiled pidentd, and the binary runs fine. No
one seemed very interested in this question, but the answer might be
useful to know -- that the arch difference between the Blades and other
boxes could cause binaries to mysteriously fail.
