 Compiling TeX binaries on Solaris
 
-(The document describes the procedures used on Sparc Solaris binaries,
-but the same rules should apply to i386 and x86_64 as well.)

 Solaris 9 has been out of official support for a while and making
 software compile on that platform is challenging, so it hardly makes any
 sense to try to support it.

+Building for 64-bit
+===================
+
+All binaries have been compiled with gcc-5.2.
+The only thing that is needed to build for 64-bit is to define
+    export CC="/path/to/gcc-5.2 -m64"
+    export CXX="/path/to/g++-5.2 -m64"

 The definition '#define _XOPEN_SOURCE 500' has been removed from 'src/sysdep.h'
 to avoid compile error due to the fact that GCC 5 switched to -std=99. 
 
+On i386 and x86_64 one has to manually add "-lsocket -lnsl" to the last linker command.
+This should be reported upstream.
