I suppose the www.sunfreeware.com guys did the build on Solaris 9/x86
without the assembler patch 115114-01: this introduced as 7.1, compared to
as 7.0 as distributed with Solaris 9 FCS.  It may be (but I've not checked)
that some S9 update integrated that patch.  This is also currently my
workaround for this problem: keep a copy of as 7.0 around and use that one.

Same here, although I have been able to build binutils 2.14 and 2.15 on
Solaris 10/x86 without problems.
