Not certain but I think GCC 8.2.0 works on Solaris 9 still.
Or am I thinking Solaris 10 ?

I think Rainer announced the situation a while back :

     Obsolete Solaris 10 support
     https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2018-10/msg00139.html

Sad given that there is a lot of that out there still. Well, not a lot 
but certianly a bunch.  Some.  There are some out there still chugging.
