Hey, I can still hope.  If someone would write a free SMT
implementation, it might not be too far fetched for someone to figure
out the Sun cards.

The latter.

I spent a week getting one package to build using Sun's CC.  It is a
simulation system.  It takes in verilog code and spits out an executable
for you to run to actually run the simulation.  At this point, it spits
out executables, but those executables won't run due to dynamic library
troubles.   Sigh.
