Still do not know what may have been the problem. However, I cleaned out the gcc-4.2.3 directory, cleaned out /usr/local/sparc-sun-solaris2.10. I then recopied both and it worked fine thereafter. Thanks for all the input. Have not yet completed the compile but it has gone past this and is now in stage-3. With Regards Vardhan
