OK, I tried this with

../configure sparcv9-sun-solaris2.8 --enable-checking=no --prefix=/pkgs/gcc-2.96 --enable-languages='c'
make all
make install

which worked, then, with new gcc being the default gcc, doing

../configure sparcv9-sun-solaris2.8 --enable-checking=no --prefix=/pkgs/gcc-2.96
 --enable-languages='c'
make bootstrap

which failed.  (The stage1 xgcc segfaulted.)

But the solaris port has many more problems than this, and I don't think
that you or I can fix them at this point.
