I have a problem with complex numbers on Solaris, which I know has been solved
in gcc 4.5, so I thought I'd install gcc 4.5, despite I know it is only an
unstable snapshot.
A requirement for gcc 4.5 is the mpc library. mpc 0.8.1 builds ok with gcc 4.4.3
on Solaris 10 (SPARC), but when trying to build the test suite, so it fails to
build (It is not a test failure, but a failure of the test suite to build).
Perhaps this is an mpc bug, not a gcc bug, but since gcc 4.5 is going to need
mpc, it is pretty important this issue is resolved.

So it seems that's impossible to get a working version of mpc, which means gcc
4.5 can't be built.
