[McIDAS #AHC-658709]: McIDAS 2015 build issue on Solaris 11.3/Studio 12.3

This is an option that we certainly would take you up on.  It is, of course, not
really a viable long-term "solution".

We are running CentOS 6 most of our Linux systems here in Unidata.  The 
exceptions
are Ubuntu on single board machines (e.g., Raspberry PI, Odroid U3) and VM
instances in "the cloud" (e.g., AWS, Azure).  Our experience has been very good
with pretty much all of these systems.  We are now experimenting with ZFS on
our latest incarnation of lead.unidata.ucar.edu, and we are having some issues
that we have not figured out yet.

Cheers,

Tom
