Forgot to mention the big bunch of packages in /usr/local/ that
all have been compiled with sunstudio, which would have to be
redone with gcc, which is often a more involved task for those
packages.... So if you drop sunstudio, many packages on a lot
of current installations will just fail and would have to be
rebuild.
