Well SPARC was a supported platform way back for Scilab 4. It still
builds but I seriously doubt you can make it work for Solaris 9.

As a pointer though you might want to add -Dsolaris -Dsun to the
compiler flags for all three of C,C++ and FF compiler. I use something
like this :

export CFLAGS="-Dsolaris -Dsun"
export CPPFLAGS="-Dsolaris -Dsun"
export FFLAGS="-Dsolaris -Dsun"

This should fix at least the isnan and stuff.

Next for the Java configuration you will have to hack the java.m4
script to point where java is located. I could try to find back my
files on that subject but it's going to take a while.
