I think it would be greatly appreciated if you could generate a small
patch for the target specific installation instructions!
Thanks

Here's a proposed patch to install.texi to document the problem. Note
that I've also removed the obsolete assertion that one must configure
with --disable-multilib on non-buggy systems.
2003-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* gcc/doc/install.texi (Specific): --disable-multilib now
should work on Solaris 7 and later, unless Sun bug 4747851 is
in effect; in that case, describe a workaround (for gcc) and a
fix (for Solaris).

Yes. The current patch revision is 112963-05, dated 2002-12-06
(available from <ftp://sunsolve.sun.com/pub/patches/112963-05.zip>).
If the workaround for Sun bug 4747851 is correct, this should
fix the problem. However, I haven't verified this, and also
the Sun database still lists the bug as not being fixed.

Yes, that's what I'd do.

Synopsis: [sparc-solaris]3.2.1 multilib bootstrap fails: 32-bit Solaris 9 + Sun patch 112963-01
State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback

State-Changed-When: Fri Mar 7 00:36:26 2003
State-Changed-Why:
Paul, in your report you mention a patchset from Sun that was
not available at the time. Did this situation change in the
meantime?
I may not understand the problem in all details, but it
appears to me that there is little value to have a bug
report about a situation we cannot do anything about. The
only thing I see is that we might want to document the
problem in the target specific installation instructions.
Thanks
Wolfgang
