Yes, I've used Sun Workshop 6.4 (C++ 5.1) to compile KDE 3.1, I think 7.0+ is 
officially supported by KDE. Check the archives on kde-solaris.

Gcc if it is nested. On the other hand gcc often accepts access to private 
data-structures where CC dont, and where CC is right.

One thing about CC is that is serious about extern "C" declarations. It 
actually parses the content as if it was C and not C++, where gcc accepts 
both. I would advise reading the code and finding out what the writer tried 
to solve using extern "C" and then do it right (or safer).
