Recently on this list there have been other reports of problems in the 
GC on Solaris.  Not that it helps much, but I think you are not the only 
one effected by whatever the problem is.  Try searching the list 
archives to see if you find helpful suggestions.


Perhaps I should pull my IPX out of the garage and see if I can build 
gcj on it.  I don't think it would be fun, as it is much slower and has 
less memory than my MIPS boards that take about a week to bootstrap and 
test the compiler...
