I ended up starting over and deleting the previous build. I was trying to build the prerequisites libraries from source by downloading them myself and doing the build. I then knew of the ./contrib/download_prerequisites script and ran that. I then did : # ../gcc-4.9.4/configure --enable-languages=c,c++,objc,fortran,java --enable-obsolete --prefix=/usr/local --with-gnu-as and then: # make Currently I have the following sparcv9/libgcc_s.so.1 && ln -s libgcc_s.so.1 sparcv9/libgcc_s.so /usr/local/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/bin/ld: cannot find libgcc-unwind.map: No such file or directory /usr/local/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /lib/sparcv9/libc.so when searching for -lc /usr/local/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/sparcv9/libc.so when searching for -lc /usr/local/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /lib/sparcv9/libc.so when searching for -lc /usr/local/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/sparcv9/libc.so when searching for -lc collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[5]: *** [libgcc_s.so] Error 1 make[5]: Leaving directory `/export/home/dlsa/code/gcc-4.9.4-build/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/sparcv9/libgcc' make[4]: *** [multi-do] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/export/home/dlsa/code/gcc-4.9.4-build/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/libgcc' make[3]: *** [all-multi] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/export/home/dlsa/code/gcc-4.9.4-build/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/libgcc' make[2]: *** [all-stage1-target-libgcc] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/export/home/dlsa/code/gcc-4.9.4-build' make[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/export/home/dlsa/code/gcc-4.9.4-build' make: *** [all] Error 2 I have no idea.
