Is that a complete binary distribution of a compiler, linker, assembler, make, etc etc or a set of detailed instructions on how to produce such binaries from something supplied with Solaris, such as the binaries in /usr/sfw? If you do mean a binary distribution, would that need root access to install it? It would be preferable to avoid the need for root access. It's clear that one of the main potential user groups (students in universities) are unlikely to have root access. I do not know, but suspect a far smaller fraction of Solaris users would have root access than of Linux users. The last place I worked as a member of staff, I had only access to an HP-UX system, but that was not root access. My own preference would be very much for clear instructions rather than binaries.
