With the push of:

6659940 ON makefiles use wrong options for Sun Studio 12 compiler and lint.
6751897 usr/src/tools/cw.c needs to be updated for Sun Studio 12 switchover.

the compilers used to build ON have changed to Sun Studio 12 (Mars).

The compilers are available from /ws/onnv-tools/SUNWspro/SS12.

If you are a build machine maintainer you will need to update any local copies
of the compiler, and the build tools (SUNWonbld) will need to be updated in
order to pick up the new compiler wrapper (cw).

The best way to do this is:

# pkgrm SUNWonbld
# pkgadd -d /net/onnv.sfbay/export/gate/public/packages/`uname -p` SUNWonbld
