Hi Lincoln,

it usually helps if you provide some context:
* What host compiler did you use?
* How exactly did you configure gcc?

From the format of the error messages I suppose you've been trying to
use some version of the Studio compilers? If so, you'll probably have a
hard time with anything newer than GCC 4.7 which is the last version
that can be compiled with a C90 compiler. While in theory GCC 4.8 and
up should work with any C++98 compiler, this hasn't been tried with
anything but g++ (and probably clang++) in a long time, so you're almost
guaranteed to run into lots of problems.
On Solaris 9, I'd strongly suggest to either build GCC 4.7 with a
preexisting version of gcc (pretty much any version should do) or
probably even Studio cc. If you like (and I'd recommend to try this),
you should use this freshly built version of gcc 4.7 to bootstrap GCC
4.9 (the last version supporting Solaris 9).
On Solaris 10, you have a preinstalled version of gcc 3.4.3 in
/usr/sfw/bin to start from. In theory (I haven't tried this myself),
this should be good enough to build even GCC 9, the last version
supported on Solaris 10. If that fails for some reason, you can try to
go via some intermediate version of gcc instead.
In both cases I strongly recommend you thoroughly review the
installation docs for the version of gcc you're building not to fall
into traps that are already known.
Besides, unless you're strictly wedded to GCC 4.8 for some reason, it's
in your best interest to go for the last version of GCC supported on
your Solaris versions which are certain to have all sorts of bugs
already fixed.

And even if you need GCC 4.8, choosing 4.8.0 rather than 4.8.5 is a
very bad choice.

Not certain but I think GCC 8.2.0 works on Solaris 9 still.
Or am I thinking Solaris 10 ?
I think Rainer announced the situation a while back :
Obsolete Solaris 10 support
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2018-10/msg00139.html
Sad given that there is a lot of that out there still. Well, not a lot
but certianly a bunch. Some. There are some out there still chugging.

Solaris 9 is obsolete since GCC 4.9:

Solaris 10 is obsolete since GCC 9:

Right. So 8.3.0 should work just fine.
