Thank you all for helping make this clearer.
So, in order to compile something using the same tools that are used to
build /stable, I would use pkg:/developer/sunstudio12u1 while for
hipster I'd use GCC 4.6.3?
Where would I find a guide to get started on this? I'm not much of a
programmer yet, but I'd like to learn and I'd be happy to contribute
time and effort to OI, seeing as I use it so much and for so many things.

I believe, there were attempts to build with SS 12.3 when it came
out, and it lead to erroneous code, allegedly the compiler's fault.
Since there was no way to make Oracle fix the compiler, those tries
were abandoned and illumos stuck with what was known to "just work".
it is not the compiler issue but the limit of as we have in Illumos
available. 12.3 generates asm which we are unable to process.

Possibly, later releases of SS12.3 patches (if publicly available)
fixed the problem - after all, Oracle would be using it to compile
their Solaris, and likely hit similar problems; I am not aware of
anything trying that with illumos.
