Yup.  GCC 2.95.2 doesn't really support sparcv9.  The support is under
development for the next major release.

In GCC terminology, I think it is.  It's just that, on GNU/Linux, it's
called sparc64, and on Solaris, it's called sparcv9.

It can't really be built, since bootstrap fails.  The GCC 2.95 series
isn't suited for sparcv9 builds.  If you really want to, you may try
development snapshots.
