CXX is implicitly set to 'g++' on OpenSolaris boxes when using gmake or /usr/gnu/bin/make. eventmachine calls 'make' and so on OpenSolaris, if /usr/gnu/bin is in the PATH and before /usr/ccs/bin it will build ok without the need to set environment variables. That's what we have for OpenSolaris.
On Nevada/Solaris, there is no /usr/gnu/bin/make and so you have to set CXX by hand or build with gmake. For a predictable environment like Solaris it may be possible to coerce CXX to be set to /usr/sfw/bin/g++ when building gems. Usually we install EventMachine like this: CXX=/usr/sfw/bin/g++ gem install eventmachine Which I'm sure one of us has blogged about. You can force it to be set it in rbconfig.rb with ENV["CXX"] = "/usr/sfw/bin/g++" (at the end of the file) but there is no specific CXX variable in rbconfig.rb.
