Actually they are available on Solaris, just not with the builtin  
inside /bin/sh.
This is just one reason why /bin/sh should not be used.  We do  
document that we
require a real POSIX shell and /bin/sh is not complaint in other  
ways, this is
just one.  In fact Sun has said many times, they are not going to  
change /bin/sh
to be a POSIX shell.

After building you should try to install the compiler, it will not  
work as some
substitutions are not done correctly.  I can point you to the bug  
reports that
were reported.

Also this really should be sent upstream and not to GCC patches.
