GCC 3.2 - Make Bootstrap fails on Solaris 2.6

[Rocha Iran-QIR001 <Iran dot Rocha at motorola dot com>]

Hi,

I was able to successfully build GCC 3.2 on a Solaris 2.5.1 system but I am
running into a problem to build it on a Solaris 2.6 one. After aproximately
one hour, the build fails as follows:

This is what I've got from the config log:

I've already tried to remove /usr/ccs/bin from my path to force the build to
use the GNU Binutils nm but the build still looks for /usr/ccs/bin/nm
anyway. I've tried also to manually change the value of the NM variable in
the GCC Makefile as follows:

Original value found in the Makefile after I ran configure:

NM = nm

I manually changed it to:

NM = <path to GNU Binutils nm 2.13>/bin/nm

It did not work. I still got the very same problem and the config.log file
showed that the build still ran the test above against /usr/ccs/bin/nm
regardless of the change in the Makefile. 

This is the version of /usr/ccs/bin/nm available in my Solaris 2.6 box.
> /usr/ccs/bin/nm -V
nm: Software Generation Utilities (SGU) Solaris-ELF (4.0)

In both the Solaris 2.5.1 and the 2.6 builds, my PATH is pointing to the
following sed:
> sed -V
GNU sed version 2.05

Since the build worked on Solaris 2.5.1, I am ruling out the possibility of
failure due to sed.

Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

Thanks,
Iran Rocha
