Dear gcc-help: I built gcc-3.2 under Solaris 8 with some difficulty until I found the right configuration options. I thought my build info might help anyone else trying to do this: Sun architecture: sun4u ( Enterprise 450 ) Solaris 8 2/02 patched 8_Recommended and J2SE_Solaris_8_Recommended, installed with 64 bit support. pkgadd'ed into /usr/local: SMCgzip (sparc) 1.2.4a SMCmake (sparc) 3.79.1 SMCbison (sparc) 1.28 SMCflex (sparc) 2.5.4a SMCbinut (sparc) 2.11.2 SMCgcc (sparc) 3.2 PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ../gcc-3.2/configure -prefix=/usr/local/gnu \ -exec-prefix=/usr/local/gnu \ --with-gnu-ld \ --with-gnu-as \ --with-as=/usr/local/bin/as \ --with-ld=/usr/local/bin/ld \ --enable-shared Yours, David L.
