Full update to date build information will stay on the wiki for now, but there is no harm in adding the bare bones instructions to the README. They shouldn't change and are a reasonable quick start.

The Solaris Porting Layer (SPL) is a Linux kernel module which provides many of the Solaris kernel APIs. This shim layer makes it possible to run Solaris kernel code in the Linux kernel with relatively minimal modification. This can be particularly useful when you want to track upstream Solaris development closely and don’t want the overhead of maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux primitives.
To build packages for your distribution:
$ ./configure $ make pkg
Full documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be found at: http://wiki.github.com/behlendorf/spl/
