"how did you make solaris 7 C99 compliant without rebuilding the entire OS from source?" Sun was following the draft versions incredibly closely, so all that was really missing were a couple minor tweaks to #define statements here and there and fabricating stdint.h, which is mostly just importing other headers anyway. The hardest part were values like WCHAR_MIN, but the _t counterpart usually existed somewhere already, and as such you can extrapolate those just fine.

i've just realized that i don't think xz actually needs 64MB of RAM to decompress. post-Tan xz still works in Solaris 7 to decompress -9evv tarballs with 16MB of memory.
