I've had what I'd call really good success on 2008.05 and more lately on
snv_98.  So much so that I've got a few boxes running OpenSolaris that
I'm playing with pretty regularly.  I did have 2008.05 on an AMD 64bit
machine (until it very suddenly died) the hosts I have it on at the
moment are Intel 32bit machines.   I mainly bootstrap pkgsrc with
SUNWgcc then install lang/gcc3 for building my packages.

If you have specific issues a post with the details might help.
