Have a look at config.log to see what the compile error actually was.

Best guess it can't find /usr/lib/sparcv9/values-Xa.o which means you're
missing package SUNWarcx. You can install this from your Solaris media.
You'll probably also want SUNWcslx and perhaps SUNWtoox.

If you can't find the compile error in the log then you could run a quick
test yourself, e.g.

    cat >conftest.c
    int main(void) { return 0; }

then press ctrl-d, and then try to compile this 64-bit with the new xgcc:

    /home/schouwl/unpack/gcc/gcc-3.2.3/gcc/xgcc
      -B/home/schouwl/unpack/gcc/gcc-3.2.3/gcc/
      -B/opt/software/gcc/3.2.3/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/bin/
      -m64 -v -c conftest.c

Good luck,
