On Solaris ar is in /usr/ccs/bin: do you have that in your path? It
contains other tools needed to compile/build programs. (I suspect one can
install Solaris without those tools.)

Where did you get gcc from? For the version on www.sunfreeware.com you

3.2.3 is current, but some people still use 2.95.3, but not 2.95.)
