I would like to mention the biggest hurdle I had to overcome to make
plain user type development on OpenIndiana : I did not find where the
standard headers (stdio.h, stat.h, etc.) were hosted.

I had to experiment linking with /lib/amd64/libc.so.1 to determine what
I had to change to glibc for correct building on OpenIndiana.

A better advertizing of the public (I mean non-proprietary) set of common
headers which match the distributed shared objects would be useful....
