Help compiling native gcc-4.7.0 on Solaris/x86

[Vincent Diepeveen]

hi Shahbaz,

Am i seeing it correctly you configure by accident in the SAME  
directory as where the installs are?

It's better to make a new directory and compile it there, so a  
different directory than where the sourcecode is.

mkdir gcc470
cd gcc470
../gcc-4.7.0/configure

Bootstrap is turned on automatically already, only if you want to  
turn it off add a parameter.

Hope that helps you, fixes 1 problem another 100 to go :)
