Sage on Solaris using Intel or AMD x86/x64 CPUs

Sage has been built on Solaris x86 / OpenSolaris. Someone else will have to report successful builds and any notes that will help people.

An issue with MPIR not detecting the correct linker has been seen on one computer running the November 2008 edition of OpenSolaris, yet others running the same version have not had this problem.
