Please check the thread starting at
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-02/msg00881.html

I have one Solaris 2.5.1 machine left here and had a lot of problem
with binutils. So i completely eliminated them on that OS for gcc
and only use Sun's tools
(configure --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld)

Built this way everything seems quite stable here.
Sorry i did a complete bootstrap, but no testsuite run.

Hope that helps a bit,
Martin.
