I doubt if there is a demand for a binary build: AFAIK all Solaris users 
of R have the tools to build from the sources.

We do have a HowTo, the R-admin manual.  If you tell us what you did in 
the format of the entries there for specific OSes, we will incorporate the 
information.  (It is pretty much essential to know exactly which compilers 
etc you used.) Several other people have built R on Solaris 10 on x86_64 
(which is I presume what you mean) using the current R-admin instructions, 
so please tell us about small changes that might be required on your 
system (and why).
