So Zstd won't run/build on Solaris or AmigaOS?

Solaris 10 as in the last one from Sun (Damn Oracle...) is an interesting choice. Does openindiana not run well on the old hardware?

I don't know whether it'll build because I'm interested in maximum compression -- time spent compressing is immaterial to me since it's only done once. It's like compiling -- I don't care how long it takes if it generates fast machine code, because it's running the generated machine code that will matter many, many times afterwards.

Is Core2 Quad with 8GB of RAM or a Sun X4100 M2 "older hardware"?
