Keep in mind that gcc on slowaris is 32 bit, and not very well optimised by default. Linux on a 64 bit linux platform usually compiles as 64 bit, slowaris by default will be 32 bit if you use the onboard gcc compiler.

Using the compiler from sun studio (since v11 now free) helps quite alot but openldap/bdb configure wont use the correct compiler options by default either.

Cheers
