As someone said, you could try the latest snapshot, which may work. I'm 
not sure how stable that is though - you would have to ask Juango, the 
main ECL developer.

If that does not work, a snapshot I took a snapshot on the 13th 
September that does work on Solaris 10 update 7 on SPARC (I've not tried 
OpenSolaris though).

I gave Juanjo has access to a Sun T5240 SPARC at the University of 
Washington, which he uses for testing on Solaris 10 update 7. (That was 
kindly donated by Sun to the Sage project).

I also gave Juanjo access to an old machine of mine, which I set up with 
the very first release of Solaris 10 (03/2005 I think). Juanjo made the 
necessary changes to ensure ECL worked on that too. So I know Juango has 
code which has worked on both the first release of Solaris 10, and the 
last release of Solaris 10 on SPARC.

I'm not sure whether he tests on x86. I suspect he does, as he does have 
access to a virtual machine running OpenSolaris on x86 hardware.
