At first glance it looks like options.h wasn't generated correctly - you'll find this in the gcc subdirectory of your build path - but I wouldn't know why. On the off-chance you haven't seen it there are some target-specific instructions here:

The build from the svn archive seems to go okay with /bin/ksh as the
login shell and without the GNU utilities in /opt/sfw/bin, with the
exception of GNU make and flex.  Although, even with /usr/bin/arch
returning, "sun4u," it's necessary to build gmp and mpfr as a 
sparc-sun-solaris2.8 build, due to bootstrapping from a 32-bit
libgcc.  Simply setting CONFIG_SHELL to ksh did not work, though what
seemed to be the problem in writing options.h, might not be
related to the shell.  Thanks!
