We all have to start somewhere ...

Step 2 is crucial, and you have to somehow get the Solaris runtime to be
able to create Solaris binaries. There's no way of getting around it,
sorry.
I don't know what VDE is, and I really don't think it matters, at least in
so far as putting together the cross compiler.

Then just ignore it. 2.5.1 is *really really* old, and pretty much of an
useless operating system by now. Use 2.8, and if you can't, at least use
2.7.

glibc2 is the GNU C Library, currently targeted for a variety of Linux/GNU
ports such as x86, sparc, alpha, etc and other GNU systems such as Hurd.
Not an issue for Solaris users. There are ports of glibc2 to non-GNU
systems such as x86-windows and a probably a bunch of others that I know
nothing about as well.
