I cannot verify this issue, the current binutils packages contains windres for Solaris 11 x86:

unstable11x% pkginfo -x CSWbinutils
CSWbinutils binutils - GNU binary utilities: gas, gld, gprof, and others
             (i386) 2.24,REV=2014.08.20
unstable11x% grep windres /var/sadm/install/contents
/opt/csw/bin/gwindres f none 0755 root bin 5876700 18219 1408536606 CSWbinutils
/opt/csw/gnu/windres=../bin/gwindres s none CSWbinutils

Please note that as all GNU utilities it is prefixed with 'g' in /opt/csw/bin and without 'g' in /opt/csw/gnu.

Am I missing a repository? Checking with both the graphical package-manager and pkginfo, there is no trace of a package called CSWbinutils

root@machine:~/# pkginfo -x CSWbinutils
ERROR: information for "CSWbinutils" was not found


Is it because I must add an addtional software repository?

I'm new to Solaris, thank you for explaining

OpenCSW is not preinstalled on Solaris as it is a voluntary, free and open repository. Take a look at the instruction on how to set up your system for OpenCSW:
