No, at least in Solaris 2.6 (and earlier, I'm pretty sure). The
/usr/ucb/cc shell script wrapper is there even without the add-on
compilers, but it's just a shell script wrapper. If it can't find the
appropriate actual compiler, it exits with the error message:
/usr/ucb/cc: language optional software package not installed
Thanks, by the way, for politely trying to help out with this and many
other Configuration issues.
