How did you configure? The mix of GNU tools and Sun tools looks suspicious. libgcj.so.6.0.0 is a monster so that could be a memory problem too. If you're not interested in Java, I'd suggest to configure with --disable-libgcj. > Has anyone attempted to use GNU binutils 2.16 to build gcc on > Solaris? I have (with a 2.16 prerelease) on Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6, 7, 8 and 9.
