Looks like the job is already done… Paul wrote on the blog . It was posted on devel-mailing list related to solaris threading using pthreads
“I confirm that the issues are fixed in HEAD. I confirmed this on 64-bit Solaris Sparc, built with the Sun Studio native compiler – using pthreads!!!”
How cool is that! Thanks very much guys for the quick turn-around.
Also, big thanks to Alex for his assitance with this port!!”
Firebird V2.0.5 Classic for Solaris 10 (Sparc) is available for download. Thanks to Tsutomu Hayashi

Happy to notify you that I’ve finished with solaris port of 2.5 on x86. I.e.
currently out code base works not only with windows and posix threading, but
also with native solaris. Both dev and release builds pass tcs OK except few
minor issues with double precision arithmetics, when digits like
12.3456789123456 differ in the last column. I suppose this is related with
VirtualBox VM problems (in all other aspects it runs Solaris wonderful).
Some of you reading this may remember that back when InterBase 6.0 was released on Solaris we ran into a fundamental problem on Solaris. It seems that since 1992 there has been an open bug documenting Solaris’ file descriptor problem: “32-bit stdio routines should support file descriptors >255.”
We finally solved the last major problem in the Firebird 2.0x build for Solaris 10 AMD 64bit. Whenever we tried to include editline in the build isql_static would coredump. We tracked the problem down
I’ve downloaded the latest 2.0.3 Firebird Server for Solaris 10 SPARC,
installed it and had some minor troubles to make it run.
