OK, I'll leave it with you.

The default PATH (on unmodified Solaris) is:
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

Traditional Sun utilities are in "/usr/bin" if you want "GNU programs" then
prefix with "g" and hope they are installed. If you want Posix programs then
look in "/usr/xpg4/bin" and/or in "/usr/xpg6/bin".

The answer is in comment 2.

I compile gcc by typing "gmake" (comment 2 shows it's version).
