 I suspect that this is your problem.
 I know that the header files for some basic
 types changed on Solaris 
 between 2.6 and 2.7, and between 2.7 and 2.8.
 
 For this reason, I do not think a version of
 gcc compiled under Solaris 2.6 will
 work under Solaris 2.8, because when you
 built gcc, the configure script made some
 assumptions based on the Solaris 2.6 header files.
 
 I'm not sure what the workaround is at this point.
 
 There is a version of gcc 3.0.3 for
 Solaris 2.8 at http://www.sunfreeware.com.
 
 Could you try that?
