This question is appropriate for the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list rather than the gcc@gcc.gnu.org list. Please take any followups to gcc-help.

It does seem from your description that you need to set the host explicitly. That is not documented because it is rarely necessary. Apparently the config.guess shell script produced the wrong results on your system. The option you want is --build, as in --build=sparc-sun-solaris2.8. I don't actually know which --build option you want here. I don't even know for sure that your old machine is supported. Ian
