Haven't tried myself, but you might want to have a look at these
patches:
http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/alt/browser/trunk/prefix-overlay/sys-devel/gcc/files/4.3.0/solarisx86_64.patch
http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/alt/browser/trunk/prefix-overlay/sys-devel/gcc/files/solaris-searchpath.patch

bottom 'Plain Text' or 'Original Format' link instead).
