Thanks to everyone for the information below. I have change the CC to cc only. So, now the script is:
CC=cc export CC ../gcc-4.0.2/configure gmake bootstrap and I get the errors: checking for sparc-sun-solaris2.9-gcc... no checking for gcc... no checking for sparc-sun-solaris2.9-cc... no checking for cc... cc checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... no checking whether cc accepts -g... yes checking for cc option to accept ANSI C... none needed checking how to run the C preprocessor... cc -E checking whether cc understands -c and -o together... yes checking for an ANSI C-conforming const... yes checking for inline... inline checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... cross-compiling... unknown checking to probe for byte ordering... cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld "conftest.c", line 4: warning: initializer does not fit or is out of range: 35283 "conftest.c", line 4: warning: initializer does not fit or is out of range: 58339 "conftest.c", line 4: warning: initializer does not fit or is out of range: 34195 "conftest.c", line 4: warning: initializer does not fit or is out of range: 38341 "conftest.c", line 4: warning: initializer does not fit or is out of range: 35268 "conftest.c", line 4: warning: initializer does not fit or is out of range: 38273 "conftest.c", line 5: warning: initializer does not fit or is out of range: 49865 "conftest.c", line 5: warning: initializer does not fit or is out of range: 51077 "conftest.c", line 5: warning: initializer does not fit or is out of range: 38340 "conftest.c", line 5: warning: initializer does not fit or is out of range: 35201 "conftest.c", line 5: warning: initializer does not fit or is out of range: 38370 "conftest.c", line 5: warning: initializer does not fit or is out of range: 43234 guessing bigendian ... unknown configure: error: unknown endianess - sorry, please pre-set ac_cv_c_bigendian make[1]: *** [configure-target-libiberty] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/export/home/src/net/gnu/odir' make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2 This is all somewhat after the line of "Comparing stage2 and stage3 of the compiler". Also, the ask why I was using the flags I was. The only reference I found to sparc where the sparcv9-*-solaris2* which sent me to sparc64-*-solaris2* on install/specific. html. Should I have been looking somewhere else? Thanks everyone for the help you have given to one who is not too familiar with compiler work.

Ah! Indeed, but you're going to further confuse the readers. :-) I think the best terminology is "32-bit multilib compiler" for sparc-sun-solaris and "64-bit multilib compiler" for sparc64-sun-solaris. -- Eric Botcazou
