Right -- we have

billbug        Solaris 11.4.81 CBE 04.2025    gcc 14.2.0
hake        OpenIndiana / Illumos        gcc 9.3.0
margay        Solaris 11.4.42 CBE        gcc 11.2.0
pollock        OmniOS / illumos        gcc 10.2.0


Hake actually says:
  gcc (OpenIndiana 13.3.0-oi-2) 13.3.0

and pollock:
  gcc (OmniOS 151054/14.2.0-il-1) 14.2.0

so it looks like the oldest is Margay's 11.2, which claims [1] to
support C11, though there are some bugs that were claimed fixed in later
releases of GCC 11.x related to alignment[2].  Perhaps relevant, but I
only searched the strings "align" and "c11" there, they may not apply to
our usage.  At least the owner of margay and billbug is active, so we
can probably get the compiler in these machines updated if needed.

[2] https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&resolution=FIXED&target_milestone=11.3
    and further for 11.4, 11.5, 11.6.
