What I mean is: What frontends do you need? Will you be debugging
natively? With dbx or gdb? The answers may affect the advice you get.
For example, if you will be using g++ or gcj you'd probably get along
better with GNU bintuils and dwarf2 debugging. For plain C the Sun btools
work fine (but beware of a common Sun ld bug on Solaris 2.7, don't
remember the details offhand).

OK, that's good to know. I hadn't gotten around to trying binutils 2.13
on sparc.
