I'll see if I can get anywhere at all with it, but strictly in the 
context of the LCL- at least at first. However as mentioned earlier I 
seem to be having problems getting it going even on Linux/x86.

FPC runs pretty well on Solaris 10, it's got X with GTK2 but is missing 
things that we're used to on Linux like libcairo. I'm not going to get 
involved with grafting bits onto 10, I might investigate whatever 
version OpenSolaris is at but only when some of the Oracle dust has settled.
