Gotta warn you, it's not going to work.  Building under anything but Linux
right now isn't happening.  That should change soon.

Well, building libstdc++-v[23] should happen during the 'make bootstrap'
step, I believe.  Do you already have a working GCC installation?  If so,
'bootstrap' doesn't necessarily gain you anything; you should just be able
to use 'make all' to build the compiler and the selected libraries.

Ah.  Crumbs.  The native Solaris grep doesn't take -q like POSIX says.
This is what happens when the native /usr/bin binaries are in the PATH
before the POSIX /usr/xpg4/bin binaries.  I'll try to adjust for that.

Some people install GNU make as gnumake, so it tries that name if it
can't find one of the others.  Since the grep failed, the configure script
decided that it had /not/, in fact, found anything.

What surprises me is that configure failed (using AC_MSG_ERROR) but the
top-level make kept right on going...
