moving gcc 2.95 from the path where it is installed

Hi Houssem,

GCC 2.95.3 works for me.  I compiled it on one machine, and moved it to 
another machine.

Have to make sure the paths are exactly the same, of course.  I presume 
that your paths are the exactly same.

Did you make sure you've copied ALL the files?  The ones from binutils too.

Caveat:  GCC on SunOS / Solaris is very sensitive to the patch level.  If 
you patch the machine, you should rebuild GCC.  Seriously.  Patches can 
change the /usr/include/... files, which GCC sometimes caches modified 
versions of those header files.  When they become out of sync, antics and 
hilarity ensue... er, umm, I mean... frustrating and tricky debugging 
sessions ensue.

Follow up caveat:  if you build GCC on one machine, and copy it over to 
another machine... make sure they are at the same patch level.

HTH,
--Eljay
