True in the first place, but later on I run into problems with software 
specific to g++.

I would suggest to use SunStudio for bootstrapping and then switching to GCC. 
You should take of bug pkg/42240 in this case (you need to comment out some 
lines in mk/compiler/sunpro.mk) and - if you need the GCC ObjC compiler - add 
"–host=sparc64-sun-solaris2.10" and "–build=sparc64-sun-solaris2.10" to the GCC 
CONFIGURE_ARGS. 

HTH,
