In general we don't have a minimum supported version, but in reality
that compiler is so old that you are going to run into issues
compiling packages, and there's no chance of building any packages
which require newer C++ standards.

It's being set by the

  _OPSYS_SUPPORTS_SSP=	yes
  
line in mk/platform/SunOS.mk - if you comment that out it should work.
What I'll do is add a compiler version check in that file so that SSP
isn't enabled if you are using such an old compiler, so at least you
should be able to bootstrap out of the box.

I'd suggest grabbing the GCC 4.9.2 package from opencsw.org and using
that to bootstrap, it'll be able to build pretty much every package
available.
