Solaris will continue to use SunPro (SunStudio 11, which, by the way, 
is now completely free -- as in beer --  and, by the way, there is 
now a SunStudio 11 for Linux as well, which is also free -- as in 
beer).

IMHO it would be of great benefit to KDE if there was an "official" 
effort to make the KDE source code compile with a compiler which does 
not support GNU extensions. It doesn't have to be SunStudio, the 
Intel compiler in ANSI mode is just as strict as SunStudio -- the 
Intel compiler is (used to be?) free as in beer AFAIK.
