OK, here's the patch I propose. Tested with 'make doc' and install.texi2html.

* doc/install.texi (*-*-solaris2*): Document the step-by-step
procedure to bootstrap and install.
Document the preference for the legacy Sun tools in /usr/bin
over the POSIX tools in /usr/xpg4/bin for the build process.

@file{/usr/ucb} to install GCC has been observed to cause trouble.
For example, the linker may hang indefinitely. The fix is to remove
