ss, I can only assume you mean this :

  Sun Studio Express - March 2009 Build

Is this the *exact* same thing that is available for OpenSolaris? I
thought that the OpenSolaris/Nevada ON bits were still to be built with
Sun Studio 11? Really, what is the standard? In truth I do not know.

The ON situation or projects that have special requirements are a whole "different ball of wax." I had forgotten about that whole mess ;)

But, in general, for most users compiling software, especially FOSS, they'll have better luck with the newer compilers due to enhanced gcc compatibility and other fixes. That's why I don't see a reason to use Studio 12, and would strongly recommend the express version instead to any users wanting to compile software on 2009.06.
