binutils 2.14 vs gcc 3.3, sparc-sun-solaris2.9

[George Karas]

All,

I've run into a problem recompiling gcc 3.3 using the v2.14 binutils.

I'm running on a Sun-Blade-100, running Solaris 9.  Both the binutils 
and gcc configures are using 'sparc-sun-solaris2.9', which automatically 
builds the 32- and 64-bit multilibs.

All the configures and makes run through correctly, as they do using the 
Sun (/usr/ccs/bin) binutils, until it gets to some 64-bit libstc++ stuff.

Examples of the errors before the 'make bootstrap' chokes and dies are:

/usr/local/build/gnu/build_gcc_sparc/gcc/g++ -shared-libgcc 
-B/usr/local/build/gnu/build_gcc_sparc/gcc/ -nostdinc++

-B/usr/local/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/lib/ -isystem 
/usr/local/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/include -m64 -mtune=ultrasparc 
-mno-app-regs -w -O3 -pipe -mtune=ultrasparc -mno-app-regs -m64

relocation truncated to fit: R_SPARC_DISP32 .gnu.linkonce.t._ZNSdD0Ev

You'll note that I do tune for Ultrasparcs, but I get these errors with 
or without the 'mtune' directives.

Doing a search for these error messages returns a long thread showing 
the same exact errors for binutils v2.12.x and v2.13.x.  Those do 
contain some suggested fixes, which seem to have already happened in v2.14.

Well, I already have gcc 3.3 working with the Sun binutils, but I would, 
obviously, prefer to use the GNU binutils, but no such luck!

Any advice would be much appreciated.  I don't read any of the mailing 
lists, so please reply directly if possible.

Thanks in advance!
