I'm not a Solaris user
I can sent you a installation media ;-), if you want.
, but I'd be kinda surprised if Solaris' own libraries were built with gcc --- Sun has their own compiler no?
Yes, sun studio. It is not installed by default, but it is possible to download it from http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/. It is highly recommended to use sun studio compiler on SPARC. GCC is slower (~30%) and generates slower and sometimes buggy code on SPARC.
Solaris 10 is compiled with Sun Studio 10, however integrated PostgreSQL is compiled with Sun Studio 11. Only gcc is compiled with gcc :-).
