Have you tried COMPAT_SVR4? It runs many svr4 binaries... It currently
works only on x86 [tested with dell svr4 and solaris 2.4], but I think
it will need only a 100 lines of code to run on solaris 2.4/sparc.
*Fortunately* I am not running solaris-2.4/sparc on any of my systems,
so I don't have access to binaries so I can test that.
