You'll want to join the tools-gcc mailing list and check out the documentation at http://opensolaris.org/os/community/tools/gcc/build_instr/ and http://opensolaris.org/os/community/tools/gcc/bug_fixing_notes/. At this point it's probably better to work with current ON sources and fix/work around compile errors rather than go back to the now rather dated gcc project gate releases (though we could make a new release if it were important enough). Note that I have set a goal of having full gcc compilation support in ON by the end of this month. I do not guarantee that the resulting bits will actually work, but right now they seem fairly reliable, and have passed numerous test suites in the past. -- Keith M Wesolowski "Sir, we're surrounded!"
