  * sigh *

After all this struggle just to get to a bootstrap I am stopped by a bug. In a released GCC version
no less. Welcome to Solaris ... a rapidly shrinking market share OS where not much seems to 
work anymore. 

[ end of whine ] 

I'll reach out to Rainer and see what he thinks. Maybe I need to bootstrap a 4.6 version and then
maybe try to bootstrap 4.7 with that. Or revert back to Solaris 8 which always seemsed to work
well. 

Thanks for the pointers.
