Technically, the Windows and Linux systems have C compilers installed because they are part of the
system software, but on Solaris and the Sun Studio compilers, the compilers are installed for build
targets only, and a particular one is installed. So test targets cannot be guaranteed that a compiler
is on the system for Solaris. However, there should be a gcc compiler installed as part of the base
Solaris system install. I kind of expect Solaris systems to have all the "Solaris" developer tools
to be part of the system, but that does not include the Sun Studio compilers which are separate products.

This was was a recent change, partially for the Embedded team, but to also trim down the overhead
needed to get a test target started and minimize what a test system needs installed.
The Embedded systems they want to test have limited capacity....  Yeah I know, JPRT running on an
embedded arm device... seems strange... but they still want to see if it can work. ;^)

Keep in mind that the default lists change with "-testset NAME", so if you want the full list of available
test targets, then only run select ones, the recommendation is "-testset all -otests '.*jigsaw.*'" or something like that.
