Problem building 4.2.0 on Solaris 10 (SPARC)

Bill,

Thanks for the advice. I think that the problem is actually related  
to the Makefile that autoconf is generating for me under Solaris 10  
for the SPARC (sparc-sun-solaris2.10).

In the 'compare:' target there's a line that says

   cd stage3-gcc; \

which I think is a bug. 'stage3-gcc' is built into the BUILD_SUBDIR  
directory. I manually changed this line to

   cd $(BUILD_SUBDIR); \

and the build seems to complete successfully. I'll try and run the  
test suite on the resulting build and see how it looks.

Thanks,
Luke
