I usually get better results from a neutrally-worded bug report that includes
a patch that addresses the issue than I get from ranting, but "you do you"
as the saying goes.  octave's bugtracker now has a category for
"Sunos/Solaris", so your ranting may very well have brought that about.

The two minor compile issues I mentioned have been reported to upstream,
and I've provided easy patches for both:
