> Is there not a newer compiler than this one?  Does GCC work on Solaris?  This particular compiler seems über-lame.

gcc has a different ABI from Sun Studio 12/12.1/12.2, which means we either build QT/WebKit/KDE4 from gcc or Sun Studio.  Studio happens to be a more stict compiler.  I can't use 12.2 because there are compiler failures which are not fixed when compiling QT.    The other problem is that unless one has a support contract with Oracle, you can't get the Studio patches for free anymore, and I've been able to build QT/WebKit/KDE4 with SS12 and have it work.  Testing the SS12.1 compiler is going to be challenging, because it is a new compiler, not an update of the SS12 compiler. So, new set of bugs.

I have 2-3 more Solaris/Studio patches which I will be submitting, then we should be done for a while.
