Call me a glutton for punishment, but I am more than a little curious at
this point...
First:

You want to participate in the OpenSolaris initiative, and yet, you do
not want your work to benefit Sun (who is supporting this project with
their own time, money, and resources) and others (whom do the same) that
do not follow your particular brand of software philosophy. In short,
you do not wish to truly benefit OpenSolaris; you wish to contribute in
a manner that benefits no one else other than yourself (or your cause).
I think you have a misunderstanding of why OpenSolaris exists.
Perhaps you should take a look at the license underwhich ON et al are
released under...
Erast has already invited you to join the gnusolaris project - if your
aim is to improve OpenSolaris by having an ON kernel with a GNU
userland, then by all means, join that effort. If your aim is something
completely different, then please state it in a simple fashion rather
than attack the discussion list.
Second:

Solaris is POSIX compliant. Linux is not. If you question is: 'what
tools are not strictly POSIX compliant?' I would rethink that question -
POSIX is a minimal specification and does not provide for every possible
extension a covered API or utility may need, including OpenSolaris.

It is not that the question is difficult. The question is silly. Several
on this list have already told you why Sun tools were chosen to build a
Sun operating environment. Solaris is POSIX compliant. What gives?
Finally:
Perhaps the question you seek is: 'how can I *correct* the tools that I
wish to use such that I can build ON in a Linux sandbox?'
