Go to www.sunfreeware.com . GCC is written in C (mostly), therefor you need a C compiler to build it from source. Either install the solaris language optional package (which I recall having high per-seat licensing costs), or get a pre-compiled gcc binary. I believe www.sunfreeware.com still distributes pre-compiled gcc binaries for solaris. The FSF and gcc.gnu.org do not distribute pre-compiled binaries for any platform, but they do have a list of links to other sites that do; see gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html .
