No, that just indicates the version of SPARC (ie instruction set version)
that your binary will work on.

Also, you will need to build on the earliest version of Solaris that you
want your binaries to work on. You can usually build on Solaris n and deploy
on Solaris >= n. Typically you can't build on Solaris n, and deploy on
Solaris < n.

/usr/bin/ldd.

pkgchk -lp /opt/csw/mysql4/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so
