Whereabouts in the build process are things dying?  At some stage
you are going to need the Solaris libraries and includes, and getting
these in the right place and time will mean careful reading of the 
GCC build notes.

If you're building the cross-compiler, there are some testing
options (CROSSTEST and ENQUIRE, IIRC) that you may want to remove
from the makefile, as these require the headers for the target
system which you may not have installed.
