Will investigate this - looks like we're currently building 1.2.5 with a bunch of security patches on top of that.

Yep, those are the ones we're currently building for GNOME 2.10, since we also have requirements from DBUS, and some documentation build tools. Will let you know how possible it is to update the libraries that are already shipped with Solaris.
