I configured/made/installed gcc 4.0.0 partially on a Solaris host. I could not build with C++ support, because ld (GNU ld, that is) choked (dumped core, signal 11, segmentation violation) on abi_check (see below). When using the Sun-supplied as and ld, ld chokes on alignment errors during bootstrap.
Note that builds on Solaris 10 on AMD Opteron (on a Sun Fire V20z) failed miserably. With the Sun-supplied as and ld, bootstraps chokes on syntax errors in assembly files; with GNU as and ld, bootstrap chockes on invalid instructions (64-bit AMD instructions not handled by as?).
