If by "assertion" you are referring to this sentence:

  When configuring on a Solaris 7 or later system that is running a kernel
  that supports only 32-bit binaries, one must configure with
  @option{--disable-multilib}, since we will not be able to build the
  64-bit target libraries.

It is obsolete because you can now build 64-bit target libraries even
on hosts that are running only 32-bit kernels.

OK, here's a revised ChangeLog entry:

2003-03-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
 
        * gcc/doc/install.texi (Specific): --disable-multilib now is
        no longer necessary on Solaris 7 and later, unless Sun bug 4747851 is
        in effect; in that case, describe a workaround (for gcc) and a
        fix (for Solaris).
