"Your only safe choice with GLDv3 is build the whole of ON and bfu

Do you mean to upgrade ON bits and bfu on Solaris 10, then compile
the GLDv3 driver? I have never done this, I thought I could only
build GLDv3 driver on OpenSolaris Express.
Tom,
The GLDv3 driver APIs are still a moving target (not committed), and
the drivers APIs can still change between releases or builds. The best
way to ship a GLDv3 driver is to integrate it in ON. Once a driver is
in ON, it can use the latest and greatest GLDv3 driver APIs, and will
be kept in sync with the driver APIs if they change.
Do get started with this you download and build the ON source, add
your driver to the source tree, build, and test by either add your
driver to a machine running the matching ON build bits, or do a bfu to
install the ON bits on the test machine. For integration of the code
into ON see http://opensolaris.org/os/communities/participation
We're now working on making a core GLDv3 API stable to enable
unbundled GLDv3 drivers, but this is still work in progress, and the
APIs can still change as part of this effort.
Nicolas.
Tom
