The PostgreSQL BuildFarm has a Solaris 8 (aka 2.8) SPARC box that
reports success with 8.0.1 (actually REL8_0_STABLE):

http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_status.pl
http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_history.pl?nm=potorooo&br=REL8_0_STABLE

The recent errors appear to be due to trouble reaching the CVS
server, not problems with the build itself.

I run 8.0.1 and several other versions on Solaris 9/SPARC without
any problems.  I build with gmake 3.80 and gcc 3.4.2.
