Yes. A recent glib/gtk2 is almost unbuildable on Solaris 9 as half of the
testsuite fails (because features are missing). Maybe Rafi can shed some more
light on it.

If it links to glib/gtk2: yes.

Solaris 9 is already deprecated. The rule is like: If it builds out of the box
on Solaris 9, then fine, if there are any issues just move on to Solaris 10 only.
