Careful....you may be using tcsh in your environment, but
the gcc configure script tries to invoke /bin/sh...it does not
invoke tcsh. If you read the above mentioned release notes,
you will see that the gcc configure scripts do not always
work with the /bin/sh that comes with Solaris, hence the
need to set CONFIG_SHELL to ksh.
