That question is difficult and we don't have an answer that is correct
for all versions. The easy answer is 10u10 because we built on that.
However, it is possible to use a somewhat lower u-level which is accomodated
by providing map files to the build limiting the used function set to
older versions. Usually this is somewhere around u8. For production system
the recommended thing is to use a recent u anyway.

libc 1.22.2 is way before u7:
  http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/lib/libc/port/mapfile-vers
You may be able to get 1.22.2 by installing the latest patchcluster.

This is definitely not possible. Think of the addition of zfs and new platform support.

I would say our baseline is s10u8. You can freely download s10u10 and luupgrade to that
without a support contract IIRC.

Sure. But please note that we don't build for Solaris 8 and 9 any more and
I am pretty sure you can't get a recent Samba to compile on Solaris 9 at all.
