gcj/egcs/libgcj on sparc solaris

[Joerg Brunsmann]

Hi,

in case anybody is interested. I successfully compiled gcj/egcs/libgcj 
on this Solaris machine:

  SunOS x 5.7 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIi-Engine

I encountered these problems:

As previously noted on this mailing list, compiling egcs without any or 
with the "with-ld=/mypath/bin/ld" configure options produces an error 
when building libgcj. After adding "with-as=/mypath/bin/as" to the
configure options libgcj compiles. The first executable didn't run
because I didn't synchronize the garbage collector used in libgcj and
egcs/gcj. After re-configuring libgcj with "enable-java-gc=no" the
executable did run. The next step is to configure both the egcs/gcj
and the libgcj with the boehm garbage collector and see what happens.

Cheers,

Jörg
