I am pleased to report that w/ help from Terry I can now build nearly
everything w/ the Solaris Studio 12.2 and 12.3 compilers.
Upon comparing our build environments we discovered that CXX=CC works
but CXX=sunCC does not, even though they are both symlinks to the same
compiler executable. I still don't know the root cause (though libtool
and associated configure logic is still the obvious suspect), but the
work around is simple:
When using the Solaris Studio compilers on Solaris, one must set
CXX=CC rather than CXX=sunCC.
So I am following that advice, and have additionally:
+ gotten up-to-date patches applied to resolve my FORTRAN and OMP
issues on the SPARC-T2 system.
+ installed both 12.2 and 12.3 compilers on Linux/x86-64
So, I can now report the following ALL work (defined as "make all check
install") with BOTH 12.2 and 12.3 Solaris Studio compilers.
The only configure flags are --prefix, setting the CC, CXX, F77 and FC
variables, and (when appropriate) setting *FLAGS=-m64.
solaris-10 s10_69/sun4u (w/ -m64)
solaris-10 Generic_137111-07/sun4v (w/ -m64)
solaris-11 snv_151a/amd64 [including ofud, openib and dapl] (w/ -m64)
linux/x86-64 (no -m64 needed because it is the default)
The following works w/ the 12.2 compilers:
solaris-10 Generic_142901-03/i386
However, the f77/f90 compilers in 12.3 are generating code using SSE2
instructions even when passed -xarch=pentium_pro.
So this machine cannot run the resulting executables. So, I had to
--disable-mpi-f77 to get things to work.
That, however, is NOT an OMPI problem.

Using system default gcc, which is actually Sun's gccfss-4.0.4, there
are assertion failures seen in the atomics in "make check". I can
provide details is anybody cares, but I know from past experience that
support for gcc-style inline asm is marginal in this compiler.
== Sun Studio 12.2 compilers w/ {C,CXX,F77,FC}=-m64 on SPARCs and amd64
Both of my SPARC systems appear to have an out-of-date libmtsk.so,
which both prevents the Sun f77 and f90 compilers from running at all,
and additionally leads to failure like the following when building
OpenMP support in VT:

This is a lack of required Solaris patches and NOT an ompi or vt
problem to be solved.
However, as a result my two SPARC platforms are configured with
--disable-mpi-f77 --disable-mpi-f90
--with-contrib-vt-flags="--disable-omp --disable-hyb"
[It took a bit of work to figure out how disable OMP and not just VT
in its entirety.]
I report this info just to note that my SPARC testing is "narrower"
than on my x86 and amd64 machines.
The one "real" problem I found appears to be libtool related and
impacted all 4 platforms:
solaris-10 s10_69/sun4u
solaris-10 Generic_142901-03/i386
solaris-11 snv_151a/amd64 [including ofud, openib and dapl]
solaris-10 Generic_137111-07/sun4v
No problem with "make all" or with "make check", but "make install"
fails with:

No such problem was seen w/ the GNU compilers on the same 4 systems.
This looks to be a libtool bug in support for the Sun C++ compiler,
especially since configuring with "--enable-static --disable-shared"
eliminates this problem (but is undesirable for obvious reasons).
A quick peek appears to show some dangling symlinks:

It is possible that the library build failed in "make all" w/o
terminating the build (I've seen such things before).
The initial evidence in the "make all" output does suggest no shared
lib was built:
/bin/sh ../../../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=link sunCC -O -DNDEBUG
-m64 -version-info 0:1:0 -export-dynamic -o libmpi_cxx.la -rpath

../../../ompi/libmpi.la -lsocket -lnsl -lm -lthread
libtool: link: (cd ".libs" && rm -f "libmpi_cxx.so.0" && ln -s
"libmpi_cxx.so.0.0.1" "libmpi_cxx.so.0")
libtool: link: (cd ".libs" && rm -f "libmpi_cxx.so" && ln -s
"libmpi_cxx.so.0.0.1" "libmpi_cxx.so")
libtool: link: ( cd ".libs" && rm -f "libmpi_cxx.la" && ln -s
"../libmpi_cxx.la" "libmpi_cxx.la" )
Note the lack of any suncc or sunCC command beween the libtool command
line and the "rm && ln" commands.
Inspecting the configure-generated libtool confirms what looks like
improper config for tag=CXX:
$ grep -e "BEGIN LIBTOOL TAG CONFIG: [FC]" -e ^archive_cmds libtool
archive_cmds="\$CC -G\${allow_undefined_flag} -h \$soname -o \$lib
\$libobjs \$deplibs \$compiler_flags"
# ### BEGIN LIBTOOL TAG CONFIG: CXX
archive_cmds=""
# ### BEGIN LIBTOOL TAG CONFIG: F77
archive_cmds="\$CC -G\${allow_undefined_flag} -h \$soname -o \$lib
\$libobjs \$deplibs \$compiler_flags"
# ### BEGIN LIBTOOL TAG CONFIG: FC
archive_cmds="\$CC -G\${allow_undefined_flag} -h \$soname -o \$lib
\$libobjs \$deplibs \$compiler_flags"
I'll be happy to provide all or part of config.log to Ralf W. or other
interested persons to debug this.
I suppose I could have tried w/o C++ bindings instead of disabling
libtool, but with F77 and F90 bindings already disabled on the SPARCs
that didn't feel to me like a very good use of my time.
An additional annoyance on one platform:
solaris-10 Generic_142901-03/i386
Is additionally unhappy with the atomics, yielding the following
warnings for every file that include atomic.h:

This is annoying, but "make check" passes all tests.
