The problem is that it is hard to rebuild transitive toolchains as all
dependencies must then link to the lower ABI. Additionally, there are
interdependencies between different libraries like libc and libnsl when a
function from libnsl from the recent version uses a function only available
in a new libc - then you are basically stuck with downreving the Solaris on
the buildfarm (which we can't do as some fixes we rely on in ZFS and the
linker are only available in later releases). So in short in short I
suggest you just update to u11 and everything works as expected.
