As of this week's respin of nv_101a, the Studio 12 compiler version
used to build the X packages has been updated again to the latest
CBE patchset, documented at:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/on/flag-days/pages/2008101301/
For internal users, these are the compilers in /ws/onnv-tools/SUNWspro/SS12.
For external users, tarballs are being prepared by the ON & Compiler teams
for release on opensolaris.org containing the pre-patched compilers.
The buildit script will log a warning at the start of your build log if
you are trying to use a Studio compiler older than Studio 12, but does
not check the exact patch revision.
We have not yet changed the compiler flags to use the Studio 12 only
options like -m64 in the main gate, but are testing that change in the
X11R7.4 project gate, so will probably merge that in a few builds, at
which point Studio 11 and older compilers will not be able to build X.
