 This is the way I successfully compliled GCC-3.2.2:
 
   First, I set CONFIG_SHELL, and turn off /bin/ucb
 path as you told me to look at:
 http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#*-*-solaris2*
 ?
   It doesn't work.
   Next, I download and install gnu-make as Steve said
 and recompile.  It doesn't work too.
   Next, I download and install GCC-3.0.1.
   I use set CONFIG_SHELL, turn off /usr/ucb path, use
 gnu-make, and GCC-3.0.1 and It works.  
 
 Absolutely, the problem is: I use the old compiler GCC
 version 2.8.1.  The question is: do I need to use
 gnu-make, and turn off ucb, use CONFIG_SHELL as ksh. 
 I am not sure.  I will test it and let you know.
 
 Regards,
 Kinh
