FYI, the linker issue [1] was the root cause of all this, and was fixed 
in recent OpenSolaris build (snv_106). We're working on fixing it to 
previous version of Solaris, when/if applicable.

Bottom line, we're not applying any patch to the way we build our bash 
delivery bundled to [Open]Solaris :)

Thanks for the help/chat on this one,
