Building binutils on Solaris

[Rainer Dorsch]

The install/BUILD document says:

Building a native compiler

   For a native build issue the command `make bootstrap'. This will build
   the entire GCC system, which includes the following steps:
[...]
     * Build target tools for use by the compiler such as gas, gld, and
       binutils if they have been properly unpacked into the GCC source
       tree.


What does properly unpacked mean?

I unpacked binutils on Solaris in gcc-2.95.1/binutils-2.9 (and made a link 
from binutils to binutils-2.9) but no gas is build when I do make bootstrap in 
the objdir. Even if I configure binutils before!

Thanks for any suggestion.
