I tried it just now, this time on Solaris 11 (host: i386-pc-solaris2.11), I'm using gcc provided by Oracle: root@sol11x86:~/xcomp/build/gcc-4.6.0# gcc -v Using built-in specs.

Ok, so binutils are built and installed. Now, gcc. I'm building gcc 4.6.0, as 4.6.2 reports an error almost identical to one in my first message. This time mpc, mpfr and gmp are in gcc source directory. Here we go: export PATH=/opt/xgcc/aix-4.3/binutils/bin:$PATH ../../src/gcc-4.6.0/configure --prefix=/opt/xgcc/aix-4.3/gcc-4.6.0 --enable-static --with-build-sysroot=../../src/sysroot --with-headers=../../src/sysroot/usr/include --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-shared --disable-nls --target=rs6000-ibm-aix4.3 --disable-multilib During compilation there was an error saying that there is no directory /src/sysroot/usr/include where headers for target system are supposed to be - my guess is that I should have provided (is it proper english?) an absolute path, but creating link gcc/src pointing to ../../../src helped - let's say that it's equal to providing absolute path. Finally, compilation failed with the following: Checking multilib configuration for libgomp...

So it's possible that they are either well hidden or not available at all. -- Jędrzej Dudkiewicz I really hate this damn machine, I wish that they would sell it. It never does just what I want, but only what I tell it.
