FWIW OpenIndiana is my Internet connected machine, so I do some, but relatively little compiling on it. However, I just went through a large number of compiles on it cleaning up compiler warnings for a package I help support using both gcc and the Studio suite. There are no technical issues that I know of w/ either.
The compelling argument for the Studio suite over Gnu is dbx. I've never used another debugger that can touch it on any system. So that's better than any of about a dozen. Have Fun!
