He probably doesn't, but if you consider very limited resources, that the
lack of what you want isn't as bad as something actually broken, and the
slowness of Sun's typical testing cycle for code changes and patches (not
to mention that they go in the development version - the latest build -
and only sometimes and slowly get pushed back to older versions); well, it
could be months or years if not never for the Solaris version you have
now. OTOH, if you're a paying customer with an expensive enough support
contract, they could probably slip you a copy that had the mod but hadn't
been through all the testing; that might happen whenever someone got
around to actually coding the mod, backporting to your version, and
building it; again, enough $$ on the support contract and lots of calls
might make that happen somewhat faster; but my guess is that that's
probably just going to cut more months to less months, not get it for you
in days or (perhaps barring being with a company with millions in play
and being a major pest) weeks.
There is an open-source rough equivalent to truss, and it supposedly even
supports Solaris (see the README-svr4 file within the source tarball),
although I haven't built it recently and don't know (or care) whether or
not it does what you want. It's called "strace" (google for it; I'm on
strike today and don't do OP's research :-), not to be confused with the
existing strace(1m) which prints STREAMS trace (debugging) messages, but
has nothing to do with system call tracing.
