Thanks! I applied your patch and added credit for your help
on the qt package.

What's about FreeBSD and FreeBSD/amd64?

Since we need GCC on Solaris anyway, this would just add
another dependency.

Apart from that, the real problem is that solaris-cc is
taken without checking whether the corresponding compilers
are installed. So the Qt's configure script should be fixed
to use solaris-g++ when GCC is available.

So I think that using solaris-g++ is the right way, and
the remaining $(SED) action is the best workaround until
the real problem is fixed.

That's still an open issue. My last fix caused the call to

    ar -M < ...

to be replaced with

    i686-pc-mingw32-ar -M < ...

That was necessary because the "ar" on OSX doesn't know about "-M"
while the self-compiled "ar" does.

The "pch" issue might be connected to that, as it fails immediately
after the "...-ar -M". In addition, the "...-ar -M" is not executed
under Debian.
