As promised earlier today, here are results from my Solaris platforms.
Note that there are libtool-related failures below that may be worth
pursuing.
If necessary, access to most of my machines can be arranged for
qualified persons.
== GNU compilers with {C,CXX,F77,FC}FLAGS=-mcpu=v9 on SPARCs, and -m64
on amd64
PASS:
solaris-10 s10_69/sun4u (w/ g77, no FC)
solaris-10 Generic_142901-03/i386 (w/ Sun's f77 and f95, both dated
April 2009)
solaris-11 snv_151a/amd64 [including ofud, openib and dapl] (w/
g77, no FC)
FAIL:
solaris-10 Generic_137111-07/sun4v with default GNU compilers
Using system default gcc, which is actually Sun's gccfss-4.0.4, there
are assertion failures seen in the atomics in "make check". I can
provide details is anybody cares, but I know from past experience that
support for gcc-style inline asm is marginal in this compiler.
== Sun Studio 12.2 compilers w/ {C,CXX,F77,FC}=-m64 on SPARCs and amd64
Both of my SPARC systems appear to have an out-of-date libmtsk.so, which
both prevents the Sun f77 and f90 compilers from running at all, and
additionally leads to failure like the following when building OpenMP
support in VT:
/bin/bash ../../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=link sunCC -xopenmp
-DVT_OMP -m64 -xopenmp -o vtfilter vtfilter-vt_filter.o

This is a lack of required Solaris patches and NOT an ompi or vt problem
to be solved.
However, as a result my two SPARC platforms are configured with
--disable-mpi-f77 --disable-mpi-f90
--with-contrib-vt-flags="--disable-omp --disable-hyb"
[It took a bit of work to figure out how disable OMP and not just VT in
its entirety.]
I report this info just to note that my SPARC testing is "narrower" than
on my x86 and amd64 machines.
The one "real" problem I found appears to be libtool related and
impacted all 4 platforms:
solaris-10 s10_69/sun4u
solaris-10 Generic_142901-03/i386
solaris-11 snv_151a/amd64 [including ofud, openib and dapl]
solaris-10 Generic_137111-07/sun4v
No problem with "make all" or with "make check", but "make install"
fails with:

No such problem was seen w/ the GNU compilers on the same 4 systems.
This looks to be a libtool bug in support for the Sun C++ compiler,
especially since configuring with "--enable-static --disable-shared"
eliminates this problem (but is undesirable for obvious reasons).
A quick peek appears to show some dangling symlinks:

It is possible that the library build failed in "make all" w/o
terminating the build (I've seen such things before).
The initial evidence in the "make all" output does suggest no shared lib
was built:
/bin/sh ../../../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=link sunCC -O -DNDEBUG
-m64 -version-info 0:1:0 -export-dynamic -o libmpi_cxx.la -rpath
/home/phargrov/OMPI/openmpi-1.4.5rc2-solaris11-x64-ib-ss12u2/INST/lib
mpicxx.lo intercepts.lo comm.lo datatype.lo win.lo file.lo
../../../ompi/libmpi.la -lsocket -lnsl -lm -lthread
libtool: link: (cd ".libs" && rm -f "libmpi_cxx.so.0" && ln -s
"libmpi_cxx.so.0.0.1" "libmpi_cxx.so.0")
libtool: link: (cd ".libs" && rm -f "libmpi_cxx.so" && ln -s
"libmpi_cxx.so.0.0.1" "libmpi_cxx.so")
libtool: link: ( cd ".libs" && rm -f "libmpi_cxx.la" && ln -s
"../libmpi_cxx.la" "libmpi_cxx.la" )
Note the lack of any suncc or sunCC command beween the libtool command
line and the "rm && ln" commands.
Inspecting the configure-generated libtool confirms what looks like
improper config for tag=CXX:
$ grep -e "BEGIN LIBTOOL TAG CONFIG: [FC]" -e ^archive_cmds libtool
archive_cmds="\$CC -G\${allow_undefined_flag} -h \$soname -o \$lib
\$libobjs \$deplibs \$compiler_flags"
# ### BEGIN LIBTOOL TAG CONFIG: CXX
archive_cmds=""
# ### BEGIN LIBTOOL TAG CONFIG: F77
archive_cmds="\$CC -G\${allow_undefined_flag} -h \$soname -o \$lib
\$libobjs \$deplibs \$compiler_flags"
# ### BEGIN LIBTOOL TAG CONFIG: FC
archive_cmds="\$CC -G\${allow_undefined_flag} -h \$soname -o \$lib
\$libobjs \$deplibs \$compiler_flags"
I'll be happy to provide all or part of config.log to Ralf W. or other
interested persons to debug this.
I suppose I could have tried w/o C++ bindings instead of disabling
libtool, but with F77 and F90 bindings already disabled on the SPARCs
that didn't feel to me like a very good use of my time.
An additional annoyance on one platform:
solaris-10 Generic_142901-03/i386
Is additionally unhappy with the atomics, yielding the following
warnings for every file that include atomic.h:
"/export/home/phargrov/OMPI/openmpi-1.4.5rc2-solaris10-x86-ss12u2//openmpi-1.4.5rc2/opal/include/opal/sys/ia32/atomic.h",
line 170: warning: impossible constraint for "%1" asm operand

line 170: warning: parameter in inline asm statement unused: %2

line 187: warning: parameter in inline asm statement unused: %2
This is annoying, but "make check" passes all tests.
