Error 1 & 2 when compiling GCC 4.4.2 on OpenSolaris 2009.06

My problem:

I've been trying to compile, build, and install GCC 4.4.2 in my installation of OpenSolaris 2009.06 on my VirtualBox 3 i386 m开发者_开发百科achine. But I keep getting this same error when running make:

> checking whether ln -s works... yes
checking for i386-pc-solaris2.11-gcc... /src/gcc-4.4.2/host-i386-pc-solaris2.11/gcc/xgcc -B/src/gcc-4.4.2/host-i386-pc-solaris2.11/gcc/ -B/usr/gnu/i386-pc-solaris2.11/bin/ -B/usr/gnu/i386-pc-solaris2.11/lib/ -isystem /usr/gnu/i386-pc-solaris2.11/include -isystem /usr/gnu/i386-pc-solaris2.11/sys-include

Attempted solutions:

1. I tried the answer to this question: Problem compiling gcc 4.4.0 on OpenSolaris 2009.6 i.e.

   ./configure --prefix=/usr/gnu --with-gmp=/usr/gnu --with-mpfr=/usr/gnu --with-as=/usr/sfw/bin/gas --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld

2. I tried GNU GCC's platform specific solution: GNU Solaris specific build instructions i.e.

   ./configure --prefix=/usr/gnu --with-gmp=/usr/gnu --with-mpfr=/usr/gnu --with-as=/usr/sfw/bin/gas --with-gnu-as --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --without-gnu-ld --enable-shared

I am still getting the same errors despite running ./configure with the two solutions above

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

• Can you compile programs with the existing GCC?

  If not, you need to resolve that.

  If you can, then you need to look at that monstrous 7-argument command (the one where it says 'checking for i386-pc-solaris2.11-gcc' - why those 7 arguments?).

• Are you running 'make bootstrap'?

  If not, what happens when you do?

  If so, whereabouts in the processing is it? (Is this stage 1, or stage 2, or what?)

• Are you using the recommended setup, with the source for GCC in, say, /src/gcc-4.4.2 and the object files in, say, /src/gcc-4.4.2-obj?

  If not, do so. Use: cd /src/gcc-4.4.2-obj; ../gcc-4.4.2/configure ...

• Which shell do you use?

  On regular Solaris 10 (not OpenSolaris - and SPARC, not Intel), I have to set CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh in the environment to make things compile (by default, it uses /bin/sh, but the /bin/sh on Solaris 10 is Bourne shell and there's a script deep down in the Java section (IIRC) that uses Bash/Korn/POSIX shell notations like $(cmd ...)). However, that normally affects a much later stage in the processing.

However, I have got GCC 4.4.2 on Solaris 10 without problem (using GCC 4.4.1 as the bootstrap compiler).
