The source compiler is gcc 3.3.6 with a different prefix... I can get things to 
compile if I hack things up a bit but this is from a clean compile. 
 
binutils is version 2.16

I traced the problem to line 3523 in libffi/configure 
 
For some reason, Sun's grep does not see the string BIGenDianSyS in the object 
file, but fgrep does... I guess it's another bug or issue with Sun's tools 
(like Sun's awk and sed being limited to 8k).
