More explicit Solaris instructions
Here are two patches to try to make the gcc -B/usr/ccs/bin/ trick more apparent. They were suggested by a user who didn't find the current hints and INSTALL file sufficiently specific. As a side effect, you get whatever else I had cooked up to go into the next INSTALL update. p5p-msgid: Pine.SOL.3.95q.970508171206.438A-100000@fractal.lafayette.edu
