I've never been able to get gcc to compile stuff for Solaris -- Sun's stuff depends on their compiler (which is not impressive) and doesn't link to gcc object without pain.

There's a reason why the various projects such as KDE pretty much gave up on Solaris as a platform: porting to it is (euphemistically) Not Fun.
