Building cross compilers for solaris is not common, so it may be that no 
one else has seen this problem.  You may have to try to figure this out 
yourself.  Or you could try submitting a bugzilla bug report and hope 
that someone looks at this.

/usr/ccs/lib is not a normal search directory for gcc, so it may be that 
the mechanism we use for it doesn't work for crosses.  Checking, I see 
that config/svr4.h doesn't set MD_STARTFILE_PREFIX when CROSS_COMPILE is 
true.  Also, the driver, gcc.c, does not use MD_STARTFILE_PREFIX when 
CROSS_COMPILE is true.  This might need some work to fix.  Though this 
doesn't explain why it does work for one of your compilers but not the 
other.

Try adding verbose options to see what is happening, i.e. compile with 
-v -Wl,-v and look at the output to see if you can see something that 
explains what is happening.
