Is Solaris/x86 supported by ibcs2 or svr4?   Solaris/x86 is being actively
developed by Sun and is far from extinct.

- Latest Java SDKs for Solaris/x86
- Forte C/C++ optimising compilers for Solaris/x86 (which may some day
be used to compile FreeBSD kernel)
- Sun ONE servers for Solaris/x86 (e.g. iPlanet LDAP)
- Oracle for Solaris/x86
- Numerous third-party applications for SCO and Solaris/x86
(e.g. backup solutions)
