i could be wrong, but i think the problem is that you're using gcc, but
you're using the assembler and other utilities in /usr/ccs/bin

probably installing the GNU binutils package from the sun freeware site
(if you haven't already) and then putting '/usr/local/bin' earlier in
your $PATH than /usr/ccs/bin should fix it.

i personally use 2.9.5 -- i'm not an expert on this, but i've heard
varying opinions of 3.0.x

for 32 bit sun architectures it should be fine, but according to people
on the list (check the archives for more information) there might be
problems compiling 64 bit binaries.

i think it should compile ok regardless tho.
