As I already told David via email, I can confirm that the Boehm-Weiser garbage collector, the GMP library and ECL itself build using patch 123647-02 (6th March 2008) on top of the first release of Solaris 10. This patch is the first one that makes GCC use Solaris' assembler. Without it, GCC fails to produce the right binaries for the Boehm- Weiser assembly files.
