Thanks for the report.
On the sole Solaris 10 system to which I have access,
all of grep's tests pass when built with gcc-4.5.0
and the Sun Studio 12 tools appear not to be available here.

I suggest you try building with a recent version of gcc.

If you really must use that other compiler, consider
instrumenting the failing test to make it report the
precise grep command that is failing.  If you do, please
report that, along with the actual/expected output.
