This announcement applies only to 32-bit static system libraries and
statically linked utilites. 64-bit static system libraries and utilities
have never been provided. The Solaris Application Binary Interface (ABI)
is provided through dynamic system libraries. All Solaris applications should
be linked with the Solaris dynamic system libraries. 32-bit applications
linked with Solaris static system libraries do not utilize the Solaris ABI.
Support for 32-bit Solaris static system libraries and statically linked
utilities will not be provided in a future release. Of particular note,
support for the static C library (/usr/lib/libc.a) will not be provided in a
future release. Please send feedback and comments to
static-libs-feedback@sun.com.
