Problem-Waiting-To-Happen #1:  Building in the source directory
tends to break.  You should read the installation instructions at
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/ first.

Problem #2:  What you're seeing is what happens when GCC has been configured
to use one kind of "binutils" (e.g., the native Solaris kind), but the other
kind (e.g., GNU's) is actually found.  If you plan on using GNU binutils,
then you must configure GCC using the appropriate --with options.
