Understood completely. |

I started building 1.4.1 a while ago on my U60, and will repoort back on |
| 15 |
it for you. If it seems to work, I can do the same for you on that |
| 16 |
particular system for 1.5-r1 if you like. |
| 17 |
|

You should be aware, though, that right now really I am mostly playing |
| 19 |
with mozilla-firebird on my primary system (a U2), because there was |
| 20 |
a request for feedback for that variant of mozilla on sparc. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
So, I can tell you if it builds and seems to run for me, but not too |
| 23 |
much more. (And not instantly. It takes forever and a day to build |
| 24 |
on one of these, even with "-j3") |

Thanks; with luck, this exercise will help get you where you wanted |
| 34 |
to be in the first place. My biggest concern all along went like this: |

As stated above, I've started a build cycle; albeit, on |
| 43 |
a system that does not get much browser exercise. Me, I'm not |
| 44 |
married to 1.4-r3. |
