ObS, When I compiled the db-1.85 for Soloris 2.6 egcs (1.0.2) just
didnt whon't to compile at all but Sun:s cc compiled db fine and with
no complan at all. So I sudgest that you write in the FAQ when
compiling db for sun/solaris use cc insted of gnu:s gcc or egcc.

Fortune:

From too much love of living,
From hope and fear set free,
We thank with brief thanksgiving,
Whatever gods may be,
That no life lives forever,
That dead men rise up never,
That even the weariest river winds somewhere safe to sea.
