I am not sure what you are asking. If you are asking if
the C compiler supplied with Sun Studio 12 conforms to
the C99 standard, the answer is yes, up to bugs. If you
are asking if the Sun Studio 12 Fortran compiler implements
BIND(C) and allows linking with code generated by the GNU
C compiler, the answer is again yes, up to bugs.
