Whoops -- I spoke a little too soon. The build succeeded, but the resulting compiler works only when given the -m64 flag, because what it expects to be 32-bit libraries (crtbegin.o, etc.) have been forcibly compiled for 64 bits. I guess I'll have to do the usual 32-bit build -- and then, if I really want 64-bit compiler executables, hand-merge the install trees. Anyone have a better idea? The obvious thing would seem to be to configure for an x86_64 target, as one would on 64-bit Linux, but that doesn't work on Solaris -- gcc/configure rejects it during stage 1 configuration. (This would also presumably produce a compiler that would build 64 bit objects by default, but I don't mind that.) -- Scott
