A better link is:

<http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/stdcxx/trunk/etc/config/README>

(Or is there new changes in trunk you don't want folks to see yet?)

It builds the static library on Solaris 11.  +1.

I got bit by the fact that I didn't define BUILDDIR= in the top-level 
Makefile - if JIRA were up, I'd file an issue to fix that.  Ideally, we 
could emit an error message if BUILDDIR= isn't defined instead of erroring 
out in a mix of confusing symlink errors.  Yes, README described the right 
procedure; but I dislike docs.  ;-)

I also don't think we have the test library yet?  So I can't do much more 
with it other than confirm that it builds.

Thanks.  -- justin
