Yes indeed.

As the Bioconductor packages are built with whatever was used to compile
R itself, this meant having to compile R from scratch with gcc, which
I wasn't really looking forward to.  However, at the moment, that looks
like the only way I could get a working genefilter going on Solaris/SPARC,
and I also found I could substitute the gcc-compiled genefilter.so for
the Sun Studio generated one in the otherwise Sun Studio generated
install.  While this is far from practical, it at least allowed me to
have a working set of R and Bioconductor for Solaris/SPARC for now.

As far as I can guess, this might mean that g++ was used to compile
something somewhere even though I've specified Sun Studio all along.
I'd need to rebuild all of R once more and log everything to verify.
