It seems as a our case. See compiler versions:

Ghost:
-bash-3.2$ cc -V
cc: Sun C 5.9 SunOS_sparc Patch 124867-09 2008/11/25

Codlin
-bash-4.0$ cc -V
cc: Sun C 5.9 SunOS_i386 Patch 124868-10 2009/04/30

I should apply patch on Ghost, but Codlin have to wait, because I don't
have a control on compiler version. I try to find update SS12 somewhere
on the disk/network.

The patch which you refer does not fix cc itself but some others
binaries/libs which cc uses.

I try to update Ghost and we will see what happen.

cc is not shipped with solaris you have to install it separately. And
bug appear only when you use high optimization (see my email). You can
see patch version when you run cc -V but you see only compiler version.
