Looks like I did not set HOST_SH to /bin/bash, so maybe this caused some issues. I will try again tomorrow. With regard to GCC, Sun/Oracle have not been very good at providing GCC packages for Solaris. I still have obsolete hardware like Ultra10 and T5220 which can only be used with Solaris-10 and Solaris-11.3. Building my own compiler gives me flexibility to use it with different versions of Solaris. But latest versions of GCC are now dropping support for older versions of Solaris anyway.
