Unfortunately, I just experienced the same behavior when trying to 
build egcs-980115 on a sparc-sun-solaris2.6 box using gcc-2.7.2.1 
built on sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1.

Perhaps this is due to using gcc built for an older Solaris release,
but as Sun does not ship a compiler with its system any more, I would
expect this to be a common case.

As an easy fix, the function in question -- get_run_time() -- could 
simply return 0 if HZ is not defined, which also happens to be the
current behavior for BeOS.
