Dear diary, on Sun, Jun 25, 2006 at 05:14:09AM CEST, I got a letter where Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> said that...

It appears that it did have helped and all went well, according to dst_.

< dst_> Three points: (1) Gcc comes along with solaris, sun cc not. < dst_> (2) Git used a lot of GCC'isms whan I last checked a few weeks ago < dst_> (3) a lot of other software will not ompile out of the box with suncc, so gcc is usually the safer choice

Of course (1) is troublesome since this means you can't build Git on Solaris without installing Sun CC - I have no other answer to this than that Solaris is horribly broken. :-( Perhaps ExtUtils::MakeMaker could be convinced to build with gcc, I'm not sure.
