GNU gcc build on Sparc / Solaris 8

[ROBERT GIBBS]

Per your build instructions request, below are the specs 
for a successful install of the full gcc suite on Sun 
Solaris 8 / UltraSparc 10:

# ../gcc-3.0.4/config.guess 
sparc-sun-solaris2.8
# gcc -v
Reading specs from 
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.0.4/specs
Configured with: ../gcc-3.0.4/configure --enable-shared 
--with-as=/usr/local/bin/as --with-ld=/usr/local/bin/ld 
--enable-threads=posix
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.0.4

This was my third attempt to get a successful build, all 
attempts with same configuration using native Solaris 
linker / assembler failed.  This attempt worked after 
installing binutils-2.11.2 and adding the appropriate 
paths as seen in the config settings above.

hope this is of some assistance to some.
