Well, yes and no:
Gromit is running under solaris (gcc), but (so far) I have not published a
solaris-version. I could send you the source or a solaris-binary
if you like.
But on the Ultra Sparc 1 I use Gromit reaches only about 60% of the speed
on a K6/200 :-(

I'll try to compile and test it under Linux/Alpha next week :-)
