If you look on the gcc-help list, there is a comment from Dennis
Clark, the directory of Blastwave, something like "I would not use
LD_LIBRARY_PATH unless someone held a taser at my head". Neither does
the gcc from Sunfreewave need LD_LIBRARY_PATH set, though that does
install in /usr/local, which might be handled a bit differently by gcc
than /opt/csw where Blastwave installs its files.

So to the best of my knowledge, it is feasible to get around this, but
exactly how is not so clear. I would have thoght that given Blastwave
has been around for many years, it would have been discovered if there
was something fundamentally wrong with the way they build gcc, as
others would have reported the issue. But stranger things have
happened.
