The Xorg server on Solaris/SPARC is so useless to anyone (I don't know
of any hardware it actually works on) that I wouldn't hold the release
for this.   (I don't think you've ever been able to build it on SPARC
with the Sun compilers, only gcc, since the inline assembly routines
haven't yet been ported to SPARC.)
