Nope.  They *do* use hardlinks in that they have 32bit wrappers in
/usr/bin etc which dispatch to the relevent architecture, but the
commands themselves are all seperate.

A quick glance at the OpenSolaris source repository finds:

http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/cmd/ptools/

i.e. they're just a bunch of losely related commands under the ptools
banner.
