Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.2.2/specs
Configured with: ../gcc-3.2.2/configure --enable-threads --enable-languages=c,c++,f77
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.2.2
>Description:
Template instanciation phase goes on infinite loop; this 
problem occurs since version 3.1 (3.0.x as well ?) on 
Solaris-8 system using default (i.e Solaris) 'ld' and 'as'
programs.

>How-To-Repeat:
% gunzip -c < g++-solaris-cgg.tgz | tar xvfp -
% cd g++-solaris-cgg
% g++ -c -frepo bib.C bob.C
% g++ *.o

===> Outputs the following (endless):

collect: recompiling bib.C
collect: recompiling bob.C
collect: recompiling bib.C
collect: recompiling bob.C
collect: recompiling bib.C
collect: recompiling bob.C
collect: recompiling bib.C
collect: recompiling bob.C
collect: recompiling bib.C
collect: recompiling bob.C
collect: recompiling bib.C
collect: recompiling bob.C
collect: recompiling bib.C
collect: recompiling bob.C
collect: recompiling bib.C

And so on, it never stops. Work on Linux (2.4.x) 
with no problem.

ld: /usr/ccs/bin/ld
as: idem.

None; reverting to 2.95.3 ?
