I work in the Sun Studio group. The tools-discuss alias has a fair amount of non-compiler traffic. I'm subscribed, but I don't get a chance to go through the email every day. If there was a tools-compilers (for Sun Studio and gcc) or something similar, I think I'd be able to respond to it more quickly. And I might be able to get some other Sun engineers in my area to sign up. I also subscribe to all the horrible "forum updated" emails, but I plow through those even less frequently than I check the tools-discuss alias emails.
There is some new management interest being revived for adding proper email support to the SDN forums, but you never know if that will fly, or how long it will take. It doesn't seem like it should be that much trouble to create a new alias for "OpenSolaris-related compiler questions". It would undoubtedly also collect questions about compiler-bundled tools (like dbx), and compiler questions that are not related directly to OpenSolaris. But I think that seems okay. If it eventually gets replaced by another alias, when we get proper gateways in Sun Studio forums, that should be okay too.
