In theory this should work ok.

I spent a little time many months ago to try to build it on Solaris 10 
x86 and nearly got there before running out of time and I never got back 
to it because I needed to reclaim the disk space :-(

I would recommend the manual build process defined at 
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building . I would avoid the 
"one-step build" because I suspect this is going to be very iterative 
and while the auto-fetching is nice developing in that environment just 
adds another layer of pain.

It is possible to build on Solaris with gcc, the trick is figuring out 
the magic to tell the various components to use it. I think things like 
NSS, NSPR and FDS itself use the env variable NS_USE_GCC. Set that to 1 
and give it a go. There may be other tweaks required.

And note that the manual instructions just cover the server itself. For 
console, the plugins, etc there is more to do.
