Thanks Eric
I thought it was OK to use a relative path. From what I understood, it is a
bad idea to build inside the directory that the gcc tar file is uncompressed
into, but I guess I can specifiy the path in full.
Definitely a typo in the email on the disable shared thing
I'm using GNU make version 3.80
I'm quite sure the kernel supports 64 bit - I've never had to disable
anything for that before to get previous versions to build on sparc...
Thanks
Mark

Subject: Re: gcc 3.4.4 build fails on Solaris (SPARC): Unable to run C
Compiled Programs
I'm trying to build gcc 3.4.4 on a sparc machine running Solaris 9. My
build setup was:
../gcc-3.4.4/configure --diabled-shared --prefix=<install
dir> --enable-languages=c,c++
make bootstrap
I see 4 potential problems:
- do not use a relative path to configure,
- "--diabled-shared" is probably not what you intended,
- is the "make" in "make bootstrap" a recent version of GNU make?
- does your kernel support 64-bit? If not, you need to configure with
--disable-multilib.
I'd really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction
on this one... Do I need a patch for gcc 3.4.4 to build on sparc?
Nope, but please read the instructions carefully:
