Solaris 11.x & illumos are not 100% binary compatible with each other.
They maintain backwards compatibility with their common Solaris 10
heritage (but only for Solaris 10 versions from before 2010, not
necessarily with later additions to Solaris 10 after that), but since
the Solaris/illumos split each has added their own set of extensions,
and use of those may not work on the other.
