The CSW effort for Solaris has a package for SunOS 5.8. It is although
based on GCC 3.3, but I'm using it for my development and have so far not
had any problems (mind you, I don't do any real-time stuff at the moment).
Even tasking seems to work under SunOS 5.9, odd as there have been reports
that tasking is broken in gnat when on SunOS 5.9.
The package supports Ada, C, C++, Java, Fortran, Objective C.

The URL is http://www.blastwave.org

The best thing is to follow the initial setup recommendations and use
pkg-get and wget to automatically download the packages and dependencies.
If you don't want to do that, you will need to download at least;
CSWcommon
CSWgcc3rt
CSWgcc3

It installs into /opt/csw/gcc3
