I will try this. However, I never had any issues until just now.

Usually I do this :

unzip gcc into /junk

cd /junk/gcc*
mkdir obj
cd obj
../configure BLAH
make bootstrap
make install

isnt that that the normal and recommended way?

..I tried this same way (above) on my FreeBSD 5.2.1 system and it built 
100% fine. So could this be a solaris issue? - I am running solaris10 beta...
