We will send you an immediate refund of all the money you have paid
us.

In the meantime, why not use a prebuilt version of gcc?  Why are you
trying to build gcc yourself?  It's certainly true that building gcc
on a platform which few gcc developers use, like Solaris, is not as
simple as it should be.  There are prebuilt versions of Solaris gcc
available at, for example, http://sunfreeware.com/.
