Yes, I can confirm that it is possible, I've done it also. Most problems
I had were related to compiling GRASS as a 64bit application in a mixed
environment, i.e. the system was not completely 64bit. In the end,
everything else worked except r.terraflow which I still cannot compile
on Solaris' own CC. (Bug report is pending. Errors are myriad, and
probably cumulative., and I just don't have the time nowadays.)
	If I remember correctly, I first compiled GRASS as an ordinary 32bit
application, and then everything worked nice.
