Bootstrapping was a bit painful because Solaris seems to come with a GCC that can't produce a working clang if asserts are enabled, but clang built with clang works nicely.  I'd love to see this all working on Illumos too.  It would greatly help matters, by the way, if you can standarise the location of the crt*.o files on Solaris, as *BSD has done - it saves us needing a load of search logic to find the GCC path containing them, as we do on GNU/Linux.

As I also happen to maintain gcc 4.4 ATM for the illumos-userland
project, I can probably help with that. I hadn't tried enabling
asserts with the gcc we've got to see if it fails. When I switch to
one of our compiler servers, I'll give it another whack. Otherwise
tweaking compiler builds is about as much fun as watching paint dry.

Part of what motivated me to pick up a recent port of llvm/clang was
the talk about DTrace integration at dtrace.conf the other week:

That may not be news to you.
