gcc-2.95 on Solaris2.6

[Rob Johnson]

Steve,
   When I try to build gcc on my Sun Ultra 10 running Solaris 2.7 and Sun's DevPro 5.0 C++
compiler (I don't currently have a built copy of gcc to compile with) and follow your
instructions
given below,  it fails in the "make bootstrap" step.   I give a listing of the failure at the
end of this
note.  Any clue as to what the problem is here and how to fix it?  Any help would be MUCH
appreciated.

    Thanks,
                   --Rob Johnson (rob.johnson@sun.com)

Here is the listing of the failure:
