I don't know about that particular version, but historically Sun
compilers have had such lousy template support that getting Boost to
work on them has been all but hopeless.  Sun 0x560 is showing 54%
failures at http://www.boost.org/regression-logs/cs-SunOS.html.

Very unlikely.  Sun needs to fix their darned compiler before we
stand much of a chance with it.
