-    Open Solaris seems to have a problem with Binutils 2.20.
-    It should work if you
-    downgrade mingw-cross-env's Binutils to 2.19 by hand.
-    A good solution needs yet to be found.
+    Open Solaris does not fulfill the requirements.
+    Two requirements are hopelessly outdated (M4, Autoconf)&nbsp;<a href="#requirements-opensolaris-dev-note">(*)</a>,
+    and one requirement is not provided at all (SCons).
+    In addition, due to a bug in its LibC,
+    Open Solaris is unable to run some tools of Binutils 2.20.
+    If you want to run mingw-cross-env on Open Solaris nevertheless,
+    a lot of manual work is required:
     </p>
