Earlier in the year, I download OpenSolaris and the Sun compiler and
got them running using VirtualBox on a Windows 7 host so I could check
out a Boost Filesystem bug report. No problems that I can remember. I
used whatever standard library Sun shipped with their compiler.

I'm away from that machine at the moment, but can look at their
standard library implementation tomorrow morning if that would help.
