Not sure what you mean by the Sun Studio trap.
Each release of a compiler requires some kind of work to the Makefiles,
happened with gcc4, and will happen with SS12 and VS2008.

That said, it would not be terribly difficult to modify the source to get
GCC to work, but you'd definitely have to spend a bit of time doing so.
Maybe the next logical campaign is to avoid the Sun Studio trap then... :)
