By Solaris 11 I mean OpenSolaris, it return 5.11 in uname now. Sun's cc is free
now, and Solaris 10 & 11 ship with a gcc. I don't have an explicitly spare x86
box at this time. Though if Solaris 10/x86[-64] or OpenSolaris/x86[-64] are
wanted hosts, we cycle through enough gear that some should be available soon.

I have ~30 UltraSPARC II boxes, Sun Blade 100, sitting on a shelf waiting for me
to fill out the form to send them to salvage, with another ~30 being thrown out
in the next month or two.
If you wanted some distcc hosts as well as a test ctdb environment I have more
than enough spare equipment sitting around to host this. Adding an additional
IDE drive dedicated to ZFS would also be very doable.

I think so. The last time I ran Linux on SPARC was in 1997 on an IPX and it
would kernel panic after a non-gui login and 30 minutes of a client telnet session.
It seems that OpenSolaris/SPARC and Ubuntu/SPARC would be of interest in the
build farm. If someone explicitly says "yes, we want X in the build farm", then
I can start setting up the machines.
