Yes, you can, but you'll find precisely the kind of problems you're
finding, because of incompatibilities between the headers of one
system, some of which GCC fixes in its own install tree, and the
headers of the other system.

Correct. But the C libraries and header files are not part of GCC;
the ones provided by the operating system are used.

This answer is wrong. :-) It will work perfectly well with sockets on
Solaris 2.5.1, as long as you build it on Solaris 2.5.1. Just try it
:-)
