This may be an obvious suggestion, since it's listed in install/specific,
but I haven't seen it mentioned so far in this thread.  You *have* made
sure to not install patch 107058-01 or to patchrm it if you had it
installed, correct?

With that patch installed, make bootstrap fails for me on Solaris 7 with
either an older version of gcc or with Solaris cc as the compiler; I get a
segfault in the middle of the build or comparison failures between stage2
and stage3.  With that patch removed, gcc 2.95.1 bootstraps cleanly and
appears to work fine.
