Hi Bob,

I suspect netCDF will build fine "out of the box" on a SunFire X4100.  One of 
our development and testing platforms (from which I'm replying to your message) 
is a Solaris 10 x86 machine, and netCDF builds fine on that.  I've verified 
that it's little-endian, and all the tests run OK.

The documentation about using "xarch=v9" is also old, and we'll have to update 
it.  Currently the autoconf-generated configure script that builds the 
Makefiles for this Solaris 10 x86 platfomr doesn't use "xarch=v9".
