Christian Schaffer provided us with details about Solaris installations he uses to build and use GDAL. Check the Tested Environments table for more information.

Below, I pasted some helpful tips from Christian:

General note:

• we use binary packages of gcc from www.blastwave.org

Settings to apply on SPARC only:

• use gld from www.blastwave.org [=/opt/csw/bin/gld]
• if using OCI: set LDFLAGS=-L/opt/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1/lib32 before configure
• if using OCI: edit GDALmake.opt like this before make

  C_PROFFLAGS = -g3 -pg -DDEBUG
  LIBS = -lclntsh -L/opt/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1/lib32  -lm -lrt -ldl
