It would be nice if someone from MySQL would tell us just what Michael> configure is doing when it declares sunfreeware's gcc a cross-compiler, Michael> and could confirm whether this is a configure problem or a gcc problem. I have now added a note about this in our online manual. (Sorry, I thought we already had done this). The bottom line seems to be that one should not use the gcc compiler from sunfreeware but instead use the SFW version of gcc that comes with Solaris 2.8 or download the gcc source and compile it. The reason configure declares sunfreeware a cross compiler is that gcc succeed in compiling a simple test program but the program would not run. Based on this configure concludes that the compiler doesn't generate a working binary for this architecture and must thus be a cross compiler to another architecture.
