I have a successful Java build of the prerelease tarball on a Solaris 2.8
machine; test results are at
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2003-05/msg00426.html
Some details: binutils 2.13.1 are used, and CONFIG_SHELL and SHELL are
set to /bin/ksh (the latter setting might not be needed, but the former
definitely is).

I would recommend against doing this, unless we can more specifically
narrow down which Solaris configurations have problems.
