 Craig,
 
 I had this problem on "my" solaris 2.7 system with the gcc 3.0.1 package
 from sunfreeware. Since things didn't work at that level for me, I removed
 the 3.0.1 and went back to 3.0 (and other bugs, sigh).
 
 I've seen this problem before but don't remember exactly where. I recall
 some of the details though and think I got around the problem by renaming
 /usr/ccs/bin/as.
 
 I build gcc and other software on "my" solaris 2.6/7/8 systems here in my
 spare time, sigh. If you would like me to help with this I'm willing to do
 what I can. If you need more info just email me.
 
 Regards,
 
 George...

 State-Changed-Why:
     According to this thread in comp.sys.sun.admin, you are
     encountering this error because
     using a version of gcc configured to use the GNU assembler
     in binutils, but you are using the Solaris assembler.
 
     Is this correct?
