Did you also export CONFIG_SHELL?  Or, if you are using /bin/csh, you
might need to 'setenv CONFIG_SHELL /usr/bin/ksh'.

Try starting from scratch (with a clean object directory), setting
CONFIG_SHELL and building with GNU make (gmake).  If that doesn't
work, post the error messages you are seeing.

>From what I understand, SunOS and Solaris refer to the same system;
SunOS is the kernel, while Solaris is the distribution.  In your
earlier post, the log file line "checking host system type..."
identified the system as Solaris.  When in doubt, run the config.guess
script in the gcc source directory, and you'll get an idea of what
system GCC thinks you have.

See above.  It sounds like CONFIG_SHELL isn't being set.  In the shell
where you have set CONFIG_SHELL, type 'env'.  Does CONFIG_SHELL show
up in the listing?
