And it would continue to be built with Sun CC , rather specific patched
version of Studio (not newest), because only person contributing Fifefox
and thunderbird and ligtning (calendar) binaries works for Oracle and is
making both Mozilla for Solaris11, 10 and 'opensolaris', that is OI/us.

There is need for at least one person with access to patched Solaris
Studio (needs paying support contract)
to be able to for starters, duplicate Firefox building.
Once that is done, Experimenting with changing compiler could begin.
