I see, perhaps we shouldn't need it on solaris 9 either? I'm checking:

#GLINKPKGS =  CSWbinutils CSWggetopt CSWgwhois

further down:
                 for p in $(GLINKPKGS); do \

this means this package shouldn't contain anything right now: no GLINKPKGS.

The package contains:

1 s none /opt/csw/gnu/addr2line=../bin/gaddr2line
1 s none /opt/csw/gnu/ar=../bin/gar
1 s none /opt/csw/gnu/as=../bin/gas
1 s none /opt/csw/gnu/c++filt=../bin/gc++filt
1 s none /opt/csw/gnu/getopt=../bin/ggetopt
1 s none /opt/csw/gnu/gprof=../bin/ggprof
1 s none /opt/csw/gnu/ld=../bin/gld
1 s none /opt/csw/gnu/nm=../bin/gnm
1 s none /opt/csw/gnu/objcopy=../bin/gobjcopy
1 s none /opt/csw/gnu/objdump=../bin/gobjdump
1 s none /opt/csw/gnu/ranlib=../bin/granlib
1 s none /opt/csw/gnu/readelf=../bin/greadelf
1 s none /opt/csw/gnu/size=../bin/gsize
1 s none /opt/csw/gnu/strings=../bin/gstrings
1 s none /opt/csw/gnu/strip=../bin/gstrip
1 s none /opt/csw/gnu/whois=../bin/gwhois


I would say that if I update binutils getopt and whois for solaris 9, we 
can throw away this package on Solaris 9 too, do you agree?

I will keep this "lesson" in mind when I need to e.g. branch gcc to 
4.8/4.9 "forever" on Solaris 9.
I suppose this is what I also will need when branching for solaris 8 
eventually.
