You have to use SunCC because of the kernel module.
There was some -serious- work done! IIRC there was around >5000  
warnings on Solaris 10/x86 a few years ago.

With the Solaris 9/sparc buildbot, we are still seeing 1200 warnings  
in master/head. In comparison the fedora 12/arm buildbot i think has  
around 100 with gcc.

It is a vast improvement over what it was just a couple of years ago!
