Not necessary. If people would simply follow the directions here:
<http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#*-*-solaris2*> by setting
CONFIG_SHELL to /bin/ksh before configure;make bootstrap, they
wouldn't have such insane build times. I bet it cuts the 48 hours to
single digits.
What I don't get is, why isn't autoconf setting CONFIG_SHELL to
something sane and re-exec-ing? I heard rumor that 2.59 was supposed
to do that automagically.
