You got in there first but I was going to say don't use the GCC that ships
with Solaris 10. It is old, unmaintained and you are far better off runng
GCC 4.5.1 from Blastwave or just bootstrap 4.6.1 yourself. Dead easy
really. Then you will find that gmp/mpfr/mpc etc compile and pass all test
with flying colours on Solaris 8 and 9 and 10 on 32-bit and 64-bit and I
have done them all. See detailed test suite reports in the GCC testsuite
maillist.

Oh, and use as and ld from Sun in /usr/ccs/bin on Sparc. I have good
results that way. You can try binutils if you want and you will find that
as ( gas ) works fine but ld is a whole other issue.
