by the way.
asterisk?
Now that things seem to be more in the direction of gcc, you'll get asterisk
eventually. The main problem with getting asterisk on Solaris was that its
code made a lot of use of gcc'isms that Sun Studio CC does not handle.
Do you need hardware support or just asterisk itself with sip support?
I worked as a contractor for Digium several years ago, with the task of
porting Asterisk to Solaris on SPARC using Sun Studio. I got it mostly
working; the changes required weren't really all that bad.
At some point, apparently internal politics at that company made things go
down the wrong path, and they basically stopped communicating with me. Never
paid me, either. As far as I know, the code was never integrated into the
main Asterisk codebase.
My next task was to tackle the device drivers for their hardware, but
obviously things never got that far.

I tried to compile it some time ago with gcc on solaris just in case it worked; it didn't , but it
was on an old solaris 10 and I hadn't time to look deeper into it. There are also versions compiled
for solaris on the web. They do not work either.
It would be nice to have on openindiana.
