Yes, you're absolutely right, I came to the same conclusion after my reply. ;)
I have no idea about the state of Solaris support, but I'm pretty sure it hasn't been touched in years, so I guess the situation hasn't improved since v0.17.

Now that I got my hands on the current release of Oracle DevStudio (5.15/12.6), I'm going to build a GNU CC configured to use GAS and GLD (all the GNU tools are prefixed here)
I mean, language support is *there*, it's the underlying plumbing that's driving me nuts
(and hoping that NetBSD support is advancing soon!)

Cheers

update: replaced system GLD without plugin support, etc with custom GLD
build works fine now
