Thanks for your bug report. I'm not sure I understand exactly what you
did, so I may be guessing wrong below.
> 1. get gcc-2.8.1.tar.gz from GNU
Here you say you got gcc 2.8.1, later you talk about 2.95. Which
version did you try to install? I'd recommend installing 2.95, 2.8.1
is rather aged now.
> 2. uncompressed it with Winzip on WindowsNT platform.
That you shouldn't do - apparently, Winzip was using a
carriage-return-line-feed conversion on text files, which included
configure. The Unix shell was then confused about the carriage
returns. Instead, I recommend using GNU zip, perhaps in combination
with GNU tar.

No. The file gcc-2.95.tar.gz on ftp.gnu.org and its mirrors certainly
contains all those files. It does not contain a .brik list,
though. Where did you get the tar file?

If you have serious problems installing this software, it may be
simpler to download precompiled versions. You'll find a link on the
gcc home page. For Solaris, there are also precompiled versions of
gzip and gtar.
