Oh my ....  Did you use GCC or the SunStudio compiler ? I tried the
latter and here the Producer build systems definitely need some more
tweaks. I hope to get it fixed this weekend.

Compiling X11 is a fun thing, especially when you run the build on a
slow machine for multiple days and in the end you get a result that
really works  :-)
I did that on a Sparc2 when early releases of X11R6 were state of the
art ....  Still I'm unsure if you're gonna find an appropriate
accelerated X display driver for the graphics card of your choice that
works with stock X11R6.9 on the Sun. I expect the NVidia driver for
example to rely on the inftrastructure of Sun's distribution of X11.

Cheers,
        Martin.
