no, nvm, if you use mini-gmp for nettle it doesn't build SHIT and it spits out one of two libraries... and it's 8KB. nettle is a cryptographic library and it's gotta be a hell of a lot bigger than that.

I finally got GnuTLS running, and it was segfaulting instantly upon load. Why? Solaris this old does not have a /dev/random equivalent. Anywhere. At all. There's a patch to add it for 2.5 and 2.6, but not for 2.7. Why they didn't include it in 2.7 as well, I don't know, but the 2.6 packages work on 2.7. Speed isn't great, but fuck it, it works. Now to figure out how the fuck to get certificates without needing recent python3 or openssl (this excludes every single update-ca-certificates type package. Yes, for every distro.) Also, I got X11R6 running, and the drivers even give me 2D acceleration on this T43. It's nice to have more than 16 colors again.
