It's 11gR2 running on oi_151a7, no problems so far. Didn't try 12c for 
now, but stay tuned. I intentionally didn't update to hipster as there are 
so many changes, eg. gcc. There is just no time to fix if something gets 
broken. And I have some old binaries from solaris 10, sxce, opensolaris 
days, all running ok on oi_151a7.
