It defaults to assuming that GNU ld is not in use, which causes the target macro files necessary for use with GNU ld to not be included. The same applies for as. The excluded files are gcc/config/sparc/sol2-gld.h, gcc/config/sparc/sol2-gld-bi.h for ld, and gcc/config/sparc/sol2-gas-bi.h for as. In this particular case, the omission of sol2-gld-bi results in link_arch not including an emulation name to pass ld; GNU ld requires this and defaults to elf32_sparc, while Solaris ld is capable of determining whether 32- or 64-bit operation is desired based on the format of the supplied object files. As a workaround, configure with "--with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld" to force the use of the GNU tools, or "--with-as=/usr/local/bin/as --with-ld=/usr/local/bin/ld" to force gcc/configure to detect whether as and ld are the GNU versions. My preference is for the former. The fix would involve making gcc/configure set with_gas and with_gnu_ld appropriately based on the as and ld that will be used by the compiler before running gcc/config.gcc. gcc/configure checks for which as and ld will be used a bit later in the process, so this would most likely involve a minor reordering.
