Thanks David,

With my first compilation I got WARNING message for 
pthread_attr_setstackaddr() function being depreciated,
so I am using pthread_attr_setstack() on "ENTERPRIZE" machines only,
i.e if "uname -a" will return GNU/Linux at the end.

For SunOS still I am using "pthread_attr_setstackaddr()".

And for "None ENTERPRIZE" machine I am not using either.

If someone could help me to really understand what is "ENTERPRIZE"
and what is not, then that should be very helpfull.

Thanks,
-haro
