/usr/sfw is unbundled software, which can optionally be installed from  
the
companion cd. I would recommend not to rely on it. As CSW provides  
exactly
the same as what SFW does we have SFW not installed to avoid using these
by mistake. If possible use the Sun assembler or depend on GNU as as
external tool to be installed.
