I've just given building gcc a try in an OpenIndiana VM, and get the following: ld: fatal: option -z has illegal argument 'relax=transtls' ld: fatal: flags processing errors collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status $ ld --version ld: Software Generation Utilities - Solaris Link Editors: 5.11-1.1756 (illumos) My fatal mistake of course was not configuring with --with-ld=/usr/gnu/bin/ld, however it is notable that not all Solaris linkers support this relax=transtls option. -- Iain
