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).

Yes, dovecot compiles just fine with Sun CC.

Yes, dovecot compiles just fine with Sun CC.
I use gcc with "-g -O" so that I get useful core dumps from dovecot that I can poke at with gdb.

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).

We are running Dovecot compiled with gcc, it does compile with Sun's cc - even with 64bits (-xarch=v9) but I dont think we would accomplish anything running with 64bit code?
We prefer gcc as dependent libraries like openssl compiles best with the commonly used gcc
If there should be any gain running the 64bits-binary, I would like to know.
We have been running rc15 for more than 2 days now, not experienceing any problems seen on previous release-candidates.
I think it's a go for 1.0
Lots of thanks to the fine work of Timo!

I'd second these comments. rc15 with dovecot-sieve is working very well here on a Gentoo Athlon XP server.
Timo,
Do you have a list of open issues that are "blocking" dovecot 1.0final ?
