Thanks for the information(I didn't know the wrapper before :)). What I meant is that this is unrelated to Erlang/OTP integration. SFW packages should be compiled with integrated tools, but is gccfss available on default Solaris installation now? I don't think so. If it is integrated in the future to replace the current one, then it will be used automatically to compile Erlang.
