error building gcc-3.2.2 under solaris 2.8

["Mark Everettm" <markjeverett at hotmail dot com>]

I'm trying to build gcc-3.2.2 under solaris-2.8.

My system is loaded only with the 32-bit version of the operating system; I 
specifically didn't load the 64-bit version because I only have 256 Mb of 
memory and a 64-bit footprint would cause me more thrashing for no good 
reason.

I executed ./configure with no problem and then did a "make bootstrap". I'm 
using a version of gnu make and an older version of gcc I found on the web. 
During at least stage 2, because the executable is ./xgcc, I get a link 
error caused by the fact that all objects created are ELF32 *except* for 
those objects which are in ./sparcv9 and ./libgcc/sparcv9. The object in 
those directories are all ELF64. One cannot link dissimilar ELF objects 
together.

I'm not sure exactly how the system decides whether it should be creating 
the 32-bit or 64-bit versions of programs, and it wasn't obvious to me while 
reading the man pages. Any help would be appreciated. If you need any other 
information, I'm at your disposal.

Thanks,
Mark J. Everett
