And presumably is solaris only doesn't work under gnu/linux?
Sorry; that is thinko/typo/horrible. What I actually meant:
Presumably the gccfss/scgfss is only available for solaris and not
gnu/linux?

Sun Studio is available for Solaris and GNU/Linux x86 and Solaris SPARC.
GCC for SPARC is a front end to this compiler, which isn't available
for Linux/SPARC so not really useful at all. If Sun Studio were available
for GNU/Linux SPARC this front end would probably function the same as
on Solaris, maybe even without any changes at all.
I don't know if the source code to this front end has been released in the
open or if it is even useful to the GCC project in general and to GNU/Linux
on SPARC in particular.
