I don't understand what your last guy was doing, but he's configured it to
point at the sun 'as' and 'ld' but tried to tell it that they're gnu 'as' and
'ld'. Weird. Maybe he's overwritten the binaries in /cdl/apps/bin/sun with
gnu versions or something odd like that.

How about $prefix/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-etc.etc.etc. ? 'gcc-lib' got changed to
'gcc' at some point between 3.3 and 3.4.

Why didn't you just use the exact same configure options that worked so well
for the last guy? That's the first thing I'd try.
