Do you have a posted result set ? 

I was unable to get a *reasonable* result on Solaris 10 sparc and the very 
best that I could get was this : 

    http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2012-11/msg01367.html

Not a very satisfactory result. 

Were you able to get a better result?  What compiler did you bootstrap with?
What linker and assembler and any other tools from outside the commercial
Solaris tools ?
