gcc 4.4.1 under Solaris 10 Ultrasparc - build problems

[Greg Ryan <gregr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been unsuccessful building gcc 4.4.1 on a Sparc Enterprise T5120
running Solaris 10.  Having not built any Solaris versions of gcc for
many years, I'd appreciate any pointers this group might have.

This Sun system comes with gcc version 4.0.4 (gccfss).

Starting with gmp-4.3.1, I was able to successfully build and check the
package with the preinstalled gcc.  Similarly, mpfr-2.4.1 successfully
built and checked with this compiler.

On to gcc 4.4.1, I ran the configure with:

	../configure CC='gcc -m64' --prefix=/gnu/usr/gcc-4.4.1 --without-gnu-as --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as --without-gnu-ld --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --with-mpfr=/local/usr --with-gpm=/local/usr --enable-languages=c,c++

Without the 'gcc -m64' configure complained that GMP and MPFR weren't in place
as the configure test attempted a 32 built compile.  When I ran

	make bootstrap

the build failed in the following way:

I'll put in a bug report if I haven't done something dumb in my
configuration.

As an aside, and after reading some disparaging remarks about gccfss, I
installing the sunfreeware.com gcc 3.4.6 package (the most recent build
I could find) and attempted to build gcc with it.  This got further,
but I was bitten in that build by a 32 bit/64 bit incompatibility.
