The problem is that we currently don’t have a default of „use isaexec“ with the
alternatives „make bin/tclsh 32 bit“ or „make bin/tclsh 64 bit“. Mainly this is
because isaexec does not work with symlinks and alternatives always use symlinks.

I made a set of packages with alternatives between 32 and 64 bit with preference
to 64 bit which pretty much should be the same as isaexec nowadays when there are
no further optimizations. Also at the moment we don’t have a recent subversion for
Solaris 9 and therefore strange package names for the Solaris 9 set:
  http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/experimental.html#tcl-alternatives

Please give it a go and let me know how it goes.


Best regards
