RE: compiling gcc-4.0.2 on solaris 9

["Douglas B. Jones" <douglas at gpc dot edu>]

Thanks to everyone for the information below. I have change the
CC to cc only. So, now the script is:

CC=cc
export CC
../gcc-4.0.2/configure
gmake bootstrap

and I get the errors:

This is all somewhat after the line of "Comparing stage2 and stage3 of the compiler".

Also, the ask why I was using the flags I was. The only reference I found to sparc
where the sparcv9-*-solaris2* which sent me to sparc64-*-solaris2* on install/specific.
html. Should I have been looking somewhere else?

Thanks everyone for the help you have given to one who is not too familiar with
compiler work. Thanks!

Ah!  Indeed, but you're going to further confuse the readers. :-)

I think the best terminology is "32-bit multilib compiler" for 
sparc-sun-solaris and "64-bit multilib compiler" for sparc64-sun-solaris.
