What was updated? Maciej’s new code? I remember a similar issues when running Macies new code on a private buildhost on Solaris 11. Afair the new code on my Solaris 11 x86 produced different results compared to unstable10x, tons of soname unused. I was working on Samba4, large package so I wanted a fast buildhost.
