OK, here is what I did

#!/bin/sh -vx
# vim:sw=2

for ld in /usr/ccs/bin/ld /usr/ucb/ld /usr/local/bin/ld
do
   LD=$ld
   export LD
   for cc in gcc /progs/SUNWspro/bin/cc /usr/ucb/cc
   do
     CC=$cc
     export CC
     for cxx in g++ CC
     do
       CXX=$cxx
       export CXX
       for make in gmake make
       do
         MAKE=$make
         export MAKE
         $MAKE distclean
         ./configure &&  $MAKE && ( echo $LD $CC $CXX $MAKE
>> build.sh.out )
       done
     done
   done
done


and the results are:

Basically it never build successfully with gcc.  When I rebuilt GCC
I build it with Sun''s tools in preference to the existing GCC which
didn''t work for Fox.  I''m somewhat stuck now.  Any suggestions
on
how to proceed?

Excuse me following up to myself, and so quickly:

Concurrently with this I''ve been posting to the GCC list about a doc
fix, which I now know isn''t needed.  I need to rebuild GCC with
/bin/ksh instaead of /bin/sh and this should fix problems in
libstdc++-v3 and other places that I didn''t know about.

I''ll let you know the outcome of this.
