Solaris 9 and Service Provider 2.5.3

[C R]

OpenCSW moved already in 2011 to "best effort" for Solaris 9 (
http://www.opencsw.org/2011/11/solaris-9-is-now-best-effort/), meaning most
pkgs are built on Solaris 10 and compatible with Solaris 10 and 11.

I tried to compile and package Shib for OpenCSW but came across too many
existing dependencies compiled with SunStudio (so those libs must be
migrated to gcc first).
