We've been playing with Solaris 10 here.  Mostly ok.

There have been a couple of issues on the x86-64 platform:

   * The 'configure' script doesn't like selecting 64-bit compiles
     under x86-64 Solaris.  IIRC, the default "runConfigure" script
     assumes 64-bit + Solaris => SPARC; now, x86-64 is also an option.

     To build under Solaris 10 on x86-64 requires changing the runConfigure
     script to be aware of x86-64 and of the difference between gcc and CC
     (Forte).  Something like:
              if test $cppcompiler; then
                 case $cppcompiler in
                     CC)
                       bitstobuildDefines=" $bitstobuildDefines -xarch=amd64 "
                       bitstobuildLink=" -xarch=amd64 " ;;
                     g++)
                       bitstobuildDefines=" $bitstobuildDefines -m64 "
                       bitstobuildLink=" -m64 " ;;
                     *)
                     ;;
                 esac
              fi ;;

   * A bug in the Forte 10 compiler caused some problems,
     but I believe the first compiler patch should fix them.

Otherwise, it's seemed ok.
