[rescue] Building gcc

[rescue at sunhelp.org]

i've used the sunfreeware pre-compiled gcc "out-of-the-box" and its never caused me any problems.  The only reason to compile gcc from scratch with it would be to update to a newer version with other features or bug-fixes.

either that, or if you're using solaris 8 get the software companion CD image whihch has gcc and all the tools pre-compiled for solaris 8, and in my view seem to be better than the sunfreeware ones (except they install to /opt/sfw instead of /usr/local ugh!!!)

why cause yourself more work when someone else has already done it for you :-p
