I think this sentence captures it:

"OpenSolaris 2008.11 is using the older GCC 3.4.3 version compared to Ubuntu using the latest GCC 4.3 branch...."

4.3 supports OpenMP, 3.4.3 does not.

You  might find this follow up interesting:
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=sun_studio_gcc&num=1

The GraphicsMagick tests are on pages 4 and 5:
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=sun_studio_gcc&num=4
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=sun_studio_gcc&num=5

In this instance they compare gcc 3.4.3 and gcc 4.0.2 with Sun Studio 12. However, gcc 4.0.2 does not have OpenMP support.

The Phoronix benchmark report at http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_shanghai_opensolaris&num=1 compares Linux and OpenSolaris on an 8-core AMD Shanghai Opteron system. My software (GraphicsMagick) is part of the benchmark tests. For some reason, it did remarkably worse under OpenSolaris than under Linux. In general, OpenSolaris did much worse than Linux throughout this whole benchmark.

Ideas?
