Indeed :-) That is platforms support:
  https://buildfarm.opencsw.org/trac/wiki/Platforms

Default is Solaris 10 only, if you want extra/other platforms you must specify
that in the Makefile with PACKAGING_PLATFORMS.

However, if you don’t have any platform configuration on the server where you are
then GAR behaves a little differently and just builds where it is running on due to
lack of information. If you have built at home this may have confused you.


Best regards
