oops, yes. That might explain why I get an ICE whan trying to use a 
complicated pch file...

As I saw it in gdb, Solaris seems to always return 
(mmi.preferred_base + mmi.offset) as addr. I'll try what happens if I pass 
mmi.preferred_base-mmi.offset as the first parameter (if MAP_FIXED is not 
given).
BTW, as I did not mess around editing gcc's source before: Is it ok to do just 
a "make quickstrap", ignore the complains of a difference between stage2 and 
3 and use this compiler? Or did I miss some developer make targets?
