We have Solaris 2.3 (SunOS 5.3) and have the same problem. I contacted Oracle Support and they faxed me the following:

When using the gcc compile with Pro*C on Solaris, you will have to make the following changes to proc.mk. Please note that gcc is not a supported compile for Pro*C.

Change
  samplec: samplec.c samplec.pc

       _at_$(ECHO) $(RCC) $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ samplec.c $(PROLDLIBS) to
  samplec: samplec.c samplec.pc

       _at_$(ECHO) $(RCC) $(CFLAGS)  -Xlinker -u -Xlinker __cg93_libc \
       -L/opt/SUNWspro/SC2.0.1/cg92 /opt/SUNWspro/SC2.0.1/cg92/__fstd.o \
       $(LDFLAGS)  -o $_at_ samplec.c $(PROLDLIBS)

   RCC=cc -I. -O -xcg92
to

   RCC=gcc -I. -O

Hope I didn't make any typo's :)

However, we are still having a problem with the library directory:   /opt/SUNWspro/..... It doesn't exist on our system :-(   

I'm unaware of what software package would provide this directory? Would it be gcc, some SUN product?? Does anybody out there know?
