If Mustang is run on unpatched Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 systems,
then the java command immediately fails with messages about
a missing symbol "__1c2n6FIpv_0_".

This is because the Mustang builds now use a newer C/C++ compiler
which create dependencies on this symbol which is not present in
older Solaris systems.

It is possible to install a Solaris patch to fix this issue.
However, I do not believe that is an adequate solution to a
problem of this severity.

We would like Java SE to be able to run "out of the box" on
exiting customer systems without requiring customers to install
patches. We may recommend patches, or if customers hit problems
we may insist on them applying patches before taking escalations.
That's fine.

But I don't think our customers typically install all the recommended
patches. And I don't want that to turn into a showstopper that
prevents people trying out Mustang on older versions of Solaris.

We should try to fix this so that the Mustang builds do not have
a dependency on this symbol.

Thanks.
