Minor nit with gcc-4.8-20121125. Since the ancient old Solaris 8 is not supported
then configure should catch that up front as opposed to having bootstrap fail.
Here I see the first few lines output from configure :
checking build system type... i386-pc-solaris2.8
checking host system type... i386-pc-solaris2.8
checking target system type... i386-pc-solaris2.8
and then things continue normally however the bootstrap fails early and fast.
Things like i586-pc-solaris2.8 fails also.
I will have a look at pentiumpro-pc-solaris2.8 and then scrap Sol 8 forever if
that fails also. However gcc 4.7.2 built and tested wonderfully, go figure.

ps: I see in changelog :

PR target/39150
* configure.ac (i[3456789]86-*-solaris2*): Also accept
x86_64-*-solaris2.1[0-9]*.
* configure: Regenerate.
so maybe *-pc-solaris2.8 will fail also .. or not
