Configuration:

../gcc-3.2.1-SOURCE/configure \
  --prefix=/cdc/tmp-cludwig/gcc/gcc-3.2.1 \
  --with-gnu-as --with-as=/cdc/tmp-cludwig/gcc/binutils-2.13/bin/as \
  --with-gnu-ld --with-ld=/cdc/tmp-cludwig/gcc/binutils-2.13/bin/ld \
  --disable-multilib --enable-threads \
  --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs \
  --enable-languages='c,c++' --enable-__cxa_atexit

`make bootstrap' produces:

[...]
abi_check.o: In function `__static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)':
/cdc/tmp-cludwig/gcc/gcc-3.2.1-BUILD/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/libstdc++-v3/include/iostream:63: undefined reference to `__cxa_atexit'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[4]: *** [abi_check] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/cdc/tmp-cludwig/gcc/gcc-3.2.1-BUILD/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/libstdc++-v3/testsuite'
[...]

As soon as I left out the option `--enable-__cxa-atexit' I could successfully 
build and install the compiler. The same option did not
cause any problems on my notebook (i686-pc-linux-gnu).

If you need it, I can send you the complete log of `make bootstrap'
as well as sparc-sun-solaris2.8/libstdc++-v3/config.log.

 Good point. :-) But let me change the PR into a feature and
 documentation  request:
 
 a) http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html does not mention
    --enable-__cxa-atexit at all. I found it only when I ran
    `gcc/configure --help'. I guess you need to supply this option if
    you want to use the compiler option -fuse-cxa-atexit?
    Or does it make -fuse-cxa-atexit the default?
 
 b) configure should complain if --enable-__cxa-atexit was passed but
    is not supported rather than produce linker errors at the end of
    the build process.
 
 Nevertheless, thanks for the clarification!
 
 Regards
 
 Christoph

 Well, yeah.

 __cxa_atexit is part of glibc, not SUN's libc.  You can't use it if it's
 not there.
