Yep.  In a sense, you're doing a cross build, in which case `make
bootstrap' shouldn't be used.  The best way to do this is `make all',
`make install', then use this installed compiler to bootstrap a
complete sparcv9 compiler.

However, note that GCC 3.0 does not fully support sparcv9/sparc64.
Hopefully, GCC 3.1 will.
