 - GNU make is also required. On Solaris, this can be quickly achieved with:
     $ PATH=/usr/gnu/bin:$PATH; export PATH
 - For remote debugging support, working GDB is required (see below).
+- For running regression tests, GNU sed, grep, awk, diff are required.
+  This can be quickly achieved on Solaris by prepending /usr/gnu/bin to PATH.
