I downloaded the precompiled GCC (version 2.95.2 and 2.95.3) from the
sunfreeware.com website.
Whenever I run a compile I get the following:
checking for gcc... (cached) cc
checking wheter the C compiler (cc -O ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler
cannot create executables.
I could use some advice as I am under deadline for this server installation.
Hardware info:
Sun Ultra Enterprise 250
512 Mb RAM
Solaris 8 (patched)
Thank you,

Make sure configure is really finding gcc and not the bogus compiler in
/usr/ucb/cc. I suggest removing /usr/ucb from your PATH and/or removing
/usr/ucb/cc altogether; this has nothing to do with gcc itself.
Check any instructions that may have come with your gcc binary from
sunfreeware.com for the appropriate path to use (e.g. /usr/local/bin).
This mailing list (gcc@gcc.gnu.org) cannot provide support for binary
distributions.

Okay. You're running a "configure", not a compile. You can look in the config.log file (in the
directory you are cd'ed into when running the configure script) to see the details of WHY cc -O
doesn't work.
In this case, it would appear that you don't have the location where gcc is installed (/usr/local/bin, for the
prehuilt SunFreeware.com binaries I believe).
I also believe that by defining the environment variable
CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc
prior to running configure that you can ALSO make this work....

BTW, you may need to download and install the binutils package as well - not sure if the 2.95.3 compiler
assumes these are present or not - but you'll get grumpy error messages about certain .<directive>'s not being
valid syntax when the output of gcc is assembled by the Sun as instead of by the GNU as that it's expecting!
