According to their history they appeared in ON in 2001. I am quite sure
Sun existed already in XX century :)

I am tinkering with powerpc-*-solaris2* gcc configuration.
We (Polaris project) have a simple gcc that builds basic
PowerPC ELF binaries, but I am trying to make it more like
SPARC or i386 configuration. There GCC appears to expect
crt?.o files present in /usr/lib and PowerPC tree (obviously)
lacks them.
