A-har har. :-)

After taking your cue and grepping through the gcc source
(I had only checked glib, gtk, and gimp before), in the
sparc-sun-solaris2.8/include/assert.h I spied
extern void __eprintf () __attribute__ ((noreturn)); /* Defined in libgcc.a */

I used gcc v2.8.1. So after further grepping through the source, it
turns out that...

...yes, you're right! It's simply a function passing to fprintf all its
own args but always using stderr for the output stream.
So anyway, on to the solution...
After we upgraded to Solaris 8, it seems, he says red-faced, that it
didn't occur to me to recompile gcc. After doing so, and then
recompiling gimp-1.1.18, all is well again I'm happy to so.
Sorry for the wasted bandwidth! And thanks, Marc, for your help.

PS I notice a handfull of plugins whose makefiles aren't created properly:
plug-ins/perl/Gimp/Makefile
plug-ins/perl/Net/Makefile
plug-ins/perl/UI/Makefile
plug-ins/perl/po/Makefile
plug-ins/perl/Makefile
They always require hand editing to change 'cc' to 'gcc' even though
configure picks up 'gcc' correctly. Probably no big deal on linux,
but it is on solaris when the Sun compiler is also installed. Anyway,
don't know if this is really the right list to mention that.
