https://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#x-x-solaris2 says
"The build process works more smoothly with the legacy Solaris tools so, 
if you have /usr/xpg4/bin in your PATH, we recommend that you place 
/usr/bin before /usr/xpg4/bin for the duration of the build."

So we actually document the opposite...
