Hi Nix
I am able to build GCC 3.2.3 by creating an objdir in the GCC-3.2.3 dir.
Running ../configure .
I was able to build GCCv3.4.2 earlier on another sun machine with SUN5.8
but different hardware.
Thanks for your suggestion, I will try it when I get my next break.
warm regards
Saurabh

Please read the installation guide. You cannot build GCC in an
objdir that is a subdirectory of the GCC source tree: you must
build it in a parallel directory (e.g. /user/sbhatnag/gcc-build,
running configure via a relative path, as ../gcc-3.4.2/configure).
This has been true pretty much forever (certainly since gcc-2.7.2).
(I don't know if this is causing your problem, but I've seen *exactly*
that error when generating with an objdir as a subdirectory of the
GCC source tree before.)
