I agree, this is not really urgent. Very few people do combined builds on SPARC/Solaris. I personally always specify both --with-as and --with-gnu-as when I use the GNU tools because I've had my share of problems too (although never this one, IIRC the build aborts earlier). > Anyway, I did some digging myself.

(If so, there's a consistency bug. > If not, it's a collect2 bug.) But maybe this is a red herring. OK, I've already run into something like that: although you specify both --with-gnu-as and --with-gnu-ld and GNU as and ld are first in the PATH, the Sun tools are nevertheless used at some point. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19461
