Dear Samuel,

ABINIT v5.6.4 comes with an example file for SunStudio 12 under Linux,
doc/config/build-examples/amd-sunstudio12_chum.ac
that was used to generate the SunStudio12 binary package available at
http://www.abinit.org/package/?text=5_6_4 .
Perhaps this might help you (well, use v5.6.4).

Xavier
