You need --enable-languages=c,c++ as well. That will limit the
    langauges built to C and C++, which are the only ones you
    downloaded. This should take care of the (misleading) g77 error
    message you got.

You also need to run configure with an absolute path, not a relative
    path.

Make sure you shell is ksh or bash; solaris sh is known not
    to work.

Finally, see the solaris specific install advice at
    http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#*-*-solaris2*
