I tried to build lang/gcc3-c on Solaris 8. This fails when ar and nm cannot be 
found in the shell path.

What do you think of putting

TOOLS_PLATFORM.ar?=      /usr/ccs/bin/ar
TOOLS_PLATFORM.nm?=      /usr/ccs/bin/nm

into mk/tools/tools.SunOS.mk and putting

USE_TOOLS+=     ar nm

in the package's Makefile?
Would that have a negative effect on other platforms?
Is there a list of tools which are supported by the TOOLS_PLATFORM mechanism?
