Solaris/x86 is a niche product. And Sun seems to change their mind about
Sol/x86 every other week. (They also do that wrt opensourcing java and
Solaris)

Use the linux version?

As someone who has used that one, I'd rather use Intel's ICC. Forte's
not that a great compiler.

Again, Linux versions.

All enterprise apps from Legato/Veritas/whathaveyou have Linux versions.
Now, having Solaris compat on *Sparc*, that can be useful, but on x86?
Not by a long shot.
