I think my current gcc toolchain may be doomed, as it uses the sun linker and the gnu assembler! (I read this was a good thing to do, at least at some point in history).
Configured with: ../gcc-4.4.0/configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable- shared --disable-static --disable-libtool-lock --enable-objc-gc -- enable-concept-checks --disable-libada --enable-libssp --enable- languages=c,c++,objc,fortran --enable-threads=posix --enable-tls=yes -- with-system-zlib --without-gnu-ld --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --with-gnu- as --with-as=/usr/sfw/bin/gas --with-gmp-include=/usr/include/gmp -- with-gmp-lib=/usr/local/lib --with-mpfr-include=/usr/local/include/ mpfr --with-mpfr-lib=/usr/local/lib --enable-c99 --enable-nls --enable- wchar_t --enable-libstdcxx-allocator=mt --with-pic I'll have a go anyway with the following and see what happens before building a new toolchain: bash-3.2$ export PATH=/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH bash-3.2$ echo $PATH /usr/ccs/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/sunstudio12.1/bin:/opt/ dtbld/bin:/export/home/brandon/bin:/opt/jdsbld/bin:/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/ bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/X11/bin I also had a problem building MPIR on OpenSolaris due to the linker problems you noted on the wiki; if you can get mpir to use a correct version of libtool (the one in /usr/bin worked) this problem disappears.
