End of support date: March 2012 (according to wikipedia, which could be 
wrong). And if people haven't updated their OS in so long, I doubt they'll 
be interested in upgrading most of their other software.

But whatever, the parenthesis on solaris 8 was just a remark (please let 
us not discuss that here), you missed my main point: you problem is caused 
by trying to compile for the 386 architecture (as opposed to the more 
recent 486, 586, etc), which your customers are certainly not using.
