With this, my applications now perfectly work on Solaris 10 too. Wonderful !

I just found a relevant thread in comp.unix.solaris archives (easy now :-)):

    http://unix.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/comp.unix.solaris/2005-02/0394.html

g6 and g7 are reserved in Solaris 10.  On Solaris, g7 is used for 
threads, but,
conversely to Solaris 9 and older, all Solaris 10 applications are 
threaded ...

I've found nothing about g5 though, so it is probably enough to drop 
-fcall-used-g7.

Many thanks for your help.
