I am asking Opensolaris.org to start their own list to mitigate the

fill the need for a compiler related discussion forum.

Is Sun Studio a compiler supported by Opensolaris?
[ ] yes
[ ] no

I think if Sun Studio isn't worth a mailing list at opensolaris.org
then you should just drop support for it.
