^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I suspect that this is your problem.
I know that the header files for some basic
types changed on Solaris 
between 2.6 and 2.7, and between 2.7 and 2.8.

For this reason, I do not think a version of
gcc compiled under Solaris 2.6 will
work under Solaris 2.8, because when you
built gcc, the configure script made some
assumptions based on the Solaris 2.6 header files.

I'm not sure what the workaround is at this point.

There is a version of gcc 3.0.3 for
Solaris 2.8 at http://www.sunfreeware.com.

Could you try that?
