AIX 4.3.3.0 cross compiling for solaris2.8
System: AIX f80 3 4 000F0FBD4C00
host: powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.3.0
build: sparc-sun-solaris2.8
target: sparc-sun-solaris2.8
configured with: ../gcc-3.0.4/configure --target=sparc-sun-solaris2.8

--with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld
>Description:
gcc 3.0.4 hangs when multiple "-I-" options are given on a C compile
line.  I cannot include preprocessor output since none is produced
due to the hanging.  Here is the command that was run, along with the
output produced before gcc hung:

  % sparc-sun-solaris2.8-gcc -I- -I- hello-world.c
  cc1: -I- specified twice

>How-To-Repeat:
Run a command line similar to the one shown above.  The C file does
not matter, since it never gets that far.  I cannot provide the
preprocessor output, as none is produced.  However, here is the
output when the same command is run with -v and -save-temps (this
actually does not hang):

  % sparc-sun-solaris2.8-gcc -v -save-temps -I- -I- hello-world.c

>Fix:
 Simply remove the extra -I- from the command line and it will work fine.
