Summary: Building tun tap on Solaris x86

Dear managers,

thanks for your feedback. I can successfully build tun tap on SPARC 
with gcc. On x86 it fails with the error shown below.

gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc/i386-pc-solaris2.10/3.4.4/specs
Configured with: ../configure --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as 
--with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --disable-nls --disable-libgcj 
--enable-shared --enable-languages=c,c++,objc
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.4

  I suppose using the Studio C compiler from Sun will help here. I am 
just wondering, why gcc (built from the same sources) on SPARC works!? 
In the meanwhile I have installed the packages from blastwave

> 	/opt/csw/bin/pkg-get -i tun
> 	/opt/csw/bin/pkg-get -i openvpn

on both machines (client and server). They work like a charm!

Thanks a lot!

Regards,

    Andreas
