Hi Rayson,

HelloWorld did not work for me for a few of reasons..

1) The gmake install did not seem to work correctly and complained later 
that it couldn't find gcc.. (Making that symlink to gcc-4.4 == bad I 
think ;)
2) I'm using gcc-4.4 experimental since that is what I easily had 
available on OpenSolaris
3) From a gmake clean and then going back to fix the compile issues with 
ld-new was minimal.. I can make a new diff if you want
4) The diff is against svn head Revision: 2105  
https://svn.open64.net/svnroot/open64/trunk


Thanks for looking at the patch.. I have this feeling if I use 
gcc-3.4-4.1 + pull the CPUID bits from mplayer it'll work.. Not sure 
though..
