gcc is version 2.95.3; it was installed while we were still running
Solaris 2.7. However, it works just fine under 2.8, so there has been
no reason to rebuild it under that system.
The build was run like this:
env CC="gcc" CXX=g++ LDFLAGS=" -Wl,-rpath /usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib" ./configure
make && ( make check || make test )
Shared library links are a big nuisance, since on many systems, they
cannot be used until they are either installed in special places, or a
linker configuration file (e.g., /etc/ld.so.conf on GNU Linux systems)
is updated, or an explicit path to them is provided at link time.
After several experiments, I found that this workaround got a
successful build, and a mostly successful validation run on Solaris
2.8:
% env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`/libltdl/.libs:`pwd`/libguile/.libs \
make LDFLAGS="-L`pwd`/libltdl/.libs -L`pwd`/libguile/.libs"
...

I then repeated that on Solaris 2.7, dropping the "env
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=...". This got the same test output as on 2.8, so at
least for test purposes, LD_LIBRARY_PATH need not be set on Sun
Solaris 2.x.
