That's the other way around. Gnu decided to add custom extensions to most of the standard Unix commands.
Solaris default commands are on the other hand much closer the the POSIX standard, you can even run strictly compliant alternatives should you need to in /usr/xpg|46]/bin.

Note that starting with Solaris 11, most of the Gnu commands are bundled with the OS in /usr/gnu/bin and the standard ones in /usr/bin are gradually including some of the previously Gnu only extensions.
