bootstrap/9889: installation gcc 3.2.2 fails on Solaris 2.8

[Kinh Nguyen]

Hi,
Finally I could compile and install GCC3.2.2 on my Sun
running Solaris 8, 64 bits multi-proccessor.  The main
problem is: 
  I am using GCC version 2.8.1.  When GCC compiles
under sub directory
../sparc-sun-solaris2.8/libstdc++-v3 I believe it runs
configure command.  The configure program looks for
Thead mode using the following statements:  
------
  echo $ac_n "checking for thread model used by
GCC""... $ac_c" 1>&6
echo "configure:3868: checking for thread model used
by GCC" >&5
  target_thread_file=`$CC -v 2>&1 | sed -n 's/^Thread
model: //p'`
  echo "$ac_t""$target_thread_file" 1>&6
----------
 In the old version of GCC (version 2.8.1), gcc -v
doesn't display line "Thread Mode" so configure
program aborts.
   I installed gnu make, and using set CONFIG_SHELL to
/bin/ksh to compile.  The problem cound be SUN make
and SUN sh shell as Steve mentions.  When I have
chance I will test it again.

   Another problems when I install using
     make install
The installation when it is looking for install-sh
when install sub-directories:
    boehm-gc, sparcv9/include and so on
It's easy to fix using ln -s, but it's better to
install without any problem.

Hope to provide you some information that make GCC
better (I love gnu software).  Thanks you very much
for your help.

regards,
Kinh
