I grabbed this one:
ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firebird/releases/0.6.1/contrib/MozillaFirebird-0.6.1-sparc-sun-solaris2.8.tar.gz

Not sure what it was compiled with.  Unfortunately I don't have a Forte
license at home, and doubt that I'll mess with compiling Firebird at work,
since I'm perfectly happy with ns7 on this old box.

But, if anyone ever tries it out I would find it interesting to hear what
the results were.
