We had some binary compatibility problems with Solaris in two cases:

1) things compiled under what used to be called SunOS not running under
Solaris
2) things compiled under Solaris not running on later versions that used
64-bit kernels

ISTR them failing with segmentation faults rather than constraint error, but
this might be another line of enquiry for you.
