I don't know about PathScale's compiler, but I'm going to caution you about using anything other than gcc: The illumos codebase is far from the cleanest codebases out there. Therefore, if you try to use anything other than gcc, you'll end up with additional pain. (clang has a reputation for having better static analysis so you'll get more warnings/errors even on x86!) Hardware bringup is enough of a pain when the toolchain is not in your way; you'll probably want to focus on ARM instead of being held back by cleanup of existing code.
