Stephen,
I've built successfully on Solaris 8 SPARC (with & without gtk) two
days ago and I've even sent the built reports.
But I got an additional question (maybe it was answered before but I
joined the beta fun not long ago): I'm currently on the gtk cvs branch
of 21.2.44 and would like to know when & how the 21.2.45 changes will
be merged in?

A small addition here which make the live a lot easier;-)
Get the xemacs-sumo.tar.gz and extract it into a permantent location.
