I've already been asked to look into this by Brian. I can't say I've rolled up my sleeves very far, but the problem appears to be in Eigen itself.
I should clarify that I'm not volunteering to maintain RcppEigen, but I will provide patches as and when.

I?m wondering if anyone has a | sense if this will be fixed in the future? It's tricky: -- packages Rcpp${FOO} fail for various values of ${FOO} also because Rcpp itself may not build (and in this particular case solaris-x86 seems to pass for Rcpp (Yay!) but solaris-sparc still fails (booh) so here it is indeed an RcppEigen issue) -- none of the core member of the Rcpp group has access to either Solaris variant (though as I recall Martyn Plummer has a solaris x86 and provided Romain access to this in the past) -- so we cannot fix Rcpp, nor can we fix packages building on top of Rcpp -- and as "we" don't use these machine, fixes are not of high priority (but if someone could provide funding, Romain may be willing to tackle this but you'd have to ask him) However, we have always accepted patches for this. With RcppEigen, the added difficulty is that the listed maintainer is no longer all that active around R. So that is an open spot -- if someone ambitious enough to tackle this would step forward and adopt RcppEigen, we'd all appreciate it.
