Another thing to consider is that Sun does a fair amount of trumpeting
about its compiler performance. I don't know what difference that tends
to make as far as Samba is concerned, but if it does make a difference,
it'd be nice to use the best compiler for the job (regardless of whether
GCC is available on that platform, which it tends to always be, and now
especially that the Sun compiler is free).
