Iozone compiles without problems with Solaris Studio 12.2., I didn't try running it though :)
In case you want to install other stuff, sunfreeware isn't the only supplier of open source package collections for solaris, others include: http://blastwave.org http://openpkg.org http://opencsw.org
And if you want to pay for your free software (shameless plug for employer): http://thewrittenword.com
If you still have issues, and you trust me lots, I can just send you binaries for iozone.

I did a ls *gcc* on the package directory of the CD I mentioned, and it showed SUNWgcc, so I installed that. It did seem to install it, but it's not in the path. Is that normal? Or should I give up and go to sunfreeware.com? By the way, the makefile I'm using from the iozone tar file lists numerous platforms including several for Solaris (32-& 64-bit, Solaris 8, 9, 10, cc, gcc...) so I thought it should work with whatever compiler is available for Solaris.

There is no functional C compiler in Solaris. (There exists one that is exactly adequate for relinking the kernel, and that’s it.)****
To get Sun’s C compiler, you need PWB – Programmer’s WorkBench. I think it has a new name… yup, “Solaris Studio”, and you no longer have to pay for it. It’s a lot more than just a command-line compiler.****
Or just download gcc from www.sunfreeware.com, which you’ll probably have to do anyway since most open-source software Makefiles aren’t happy with Sun’s compiler. Note, see http://www.sunfreeware.com/faq.html#q4.****
If you have the Solaris Companion CD/DVD that came with some versions of Solaris, gcc may be on the disc, probably in a package called SFWgcc. The Sun Freeware Collection and associated webpages appear to have died a typical Oracle death since the acquisition, so I can’t tell if it even exists for Solaris 10 or not.****
Most people wind up installing the sunfreeware.com packages, AFAIK… they stay somewhat up to date, whereas the SFW* packages on the Sun CD are static and typically don’t get updated until the next major release of Solaris.****
