Solaris Studio is still free, and being developed by Oracle.

In the old days when a lot of gcc development was being performed on Sun 
systems, gcc would often out perform the Sun compilers, these days it's 
the other way around.

That many so-called open source products are developed by people who 
have a "of course it's portable, it build on both Fedora Core *and* 
OpenSUSE" is the real problem.
