This is correct...it has been free and non-nodelocked for some

It's a fantastic compiler suite...it's all I use for my development.
A _Linux_ version? That I was unaware of.
Yup...I don't know when they released it, but I think it was
sometime last summer.
SPARC is
better, indeed for C++ or ANSI C on SunOS4 you will
probably have to use gcc, since Sun's ANSI and C++ compilers are
both hard to come by and nodelocked.
Are you talking about the SUNWspro tools?
Those are available
for free download from Sun. I think they call it Studio 11, or
something like that. Did they implement GNU compiler extensions like
Intel have?
I doubt it, and I sure hope not. Rampant, undisciplined use of
the GCC "extensions" cause great gnashing of teeth for everyone not
running GCC under Linux on a PC.
