gcc 2.95.2 failure to make

[David Whitt]

So far no luck in getting gcc 2.95.2 installed on our sparc 10 running solaris
7. I need some help.

Note /usr/local is a read only partition from another server. It contains an
earlier native gcc compiler (2.8.1) used for building gcc 2.95.2. So as such all
gcc 2.95.2 executables, manuals, libraries need to go into a place other than
/usr/local (ie. different prefix dir is specified).... see below

host :  sparc 10    sparc-sun-solaris2.7
/opt/gcc-srcdir               the untarred  gcc 2.95.2 source directory
/opt/gcc-objdir          the object directory
/opt/gcc-2.95.2          top level prefix.  for putting gcc 2.95.2 executables,
libs, manuals, etc need to go here

logged in as superuser  and set PATH and location of 2.8.1 GCC as shown below

PATH=/usr/local:/usr/ucb:/etc::/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc

# mkdir /opt/gcc-objdir
# cd  /opt/gcc-objdir
# /opt/gcc-srcdir/configure  sparc-sun-solaris2.7 --prefix=/opt/gcc-2.95.2
# make bootstrap      or   # make

make: fatal error:: don't know ho to make target '../lib/system.h'
Current working directory /opt/gcc-objdir/texinfo/makeinfo
*** Error code 1

Thanks for any help you can provide
