Please take steps to make any lockers you maintain support the new
sun4x_57 system type. Possible approaches are:
* Make a symlink under arch from sun4x_57 to some older
Solaris system type like sun4x_56. If you do this, binaries
rebuilt under Solaris 7 will probably start to break on the
older system type.
* Make a symlink farm under arch/sun4x_57/bin pointing to the
binaries from an older Solaris system type. When binaries
are rebuilt on a Solaris 7 machine, replace the symlinks
with actual files.
* Rebuild the entire locker under Solaris 7, creating an
entirely new arch/sun4x_57 directory.
