For those running Dovecot on Solaris, what are your positive/negative experiences with building the software with CC vs. GCC? We are currently letting ./configure find our gcc and build with it, but wondered if anyone has any experience with Sun CC (does it even compile, for example).
I've successfully compiled Dovecot with GCC, but I'm currently using Sun Studio 11 / Sun C 5.8, and it works well. I'm using Solaris on SPARC, and presumably, Sun's compiler does a better job optimizing code for the SPARC, but that *is* just a presumption (I haven't performed any comparison benchmarks).
