Of course not, that's clearly a bug. It would be even better to
autodetect this condition, or avoid it by either using glob from the
Perl core (which exists even in 5.005) or finally dropping Solaris 8
support, which is ancient history by now ;-)
I'm uncertain that we want to touch any of this so late in the 4.6.0
release cycle.
The docs are inaccurate in that make_sunver.pl is required for all
versioned libraries, i.e. libgomp, libgfortran, libquadmath, libstdc++,
and libjava, and of course in that having sufficiently recent perl is a
requirement for everyone building GCC even from tarballs.
I don't really understand Denis' reluctance to build a newer perl as a
prerequisite: anyone who undertakes to build GCC himself needn't be
afraid from Perl :-)
