What you need are several things.  First I would build a gnu make in user 
space and install some autoconf, automake tools (latest stable versions 
always).  Gnu Coreutils, grep, flex and bison can help too as well as sed.  
Also a new version of bash or some other loved shell should be helpfull, when 
fiddling with makefiles and shell scripts.

Then you should go and compile/install latest binutils into your user system 
path (which contains as too I think).

If you have done all those things you should be on the save side to install 
your gcc.

Your problem with the ccs/as might be a configuration issue.  Have you ever 
tried make distclean, or better compiled gcc in a seperate build directory as 
recommended and removed cleaned that up completely before rebuilding ?

That's what you surely should do if you haven't done so already.


Ahh and anyway.  Are you sure your problem with vfwscanf should be solved by a 
new gcc version ?  I mean, this is a C library function and won't be 
installed by a new version of gcc.   You should better go to sun.com and get 
the latest SunOS patches or read something about their libc.


What is this gcc3.4.2 you are using ?

Try also to tune the specs of the gcc (and ready about gcc specs if you never 
heard about them).
