I'm told that it builds and "works" for some purposes. I think you
have to enable the Linux emulation stuff. I was not using LVM on it,
however. Just on Fedora.

Check the wikipedia page for Solaris. Illumos and OpenSolaris are
mentioned, althout Indiana and others are not.
When I was playing with it, LVM did build on Solaris, IIRC. That was
before ZFS or whatever that is.. I don't remember whether I used it
there or not.
No, Solaris is not Linux. Closer to the BSDs, but getting further away.
And I was talking about multi-booting in general, which is what the OP
asked about, not about the Linux kernel.

I never asked it to.
Set up a vfat formatted partition for sharing.
BTW, I could mount and read NTFS from Fedora, even wrote to it once or twice.
I have heard somewhere of a project that had succeeded in making LVM
visible to MSWindows, but I haven't heard how well they progressed.
They may have given up.

That's probably wise.

It seems odd to me that you think it obvious. GPT mucks with a lot of
underlying assumptions.

Be careful when you look at conspiracy.
Arm yourself with knowledge of yourself, as well:
