Your longish messages don't show it AFAICS. regardless this situation just keeps getting worse and worse. I can chose to use gas or as and either way the build fails in stage 1 either with a pile of noises about sed or with something even more interesting : . . . gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/build/gcc-4.7.2_sparc64-sun-solaris2.10.003/gcc' mkdir sparc64-sun-solaris2.10/libgcc Checking multilib configuration for libgcc...

I will create a new fresh zone and work in there with no GNU stack at all other than GNU make and maybe binutils. Then see what happens. Dennis
