Yes, I am using some sunfreeware packages (binutils, gcc, wget, perl,
sed, grep , ...) to make my Solaris system behave more like an OSS
system (assuming I set the path correctly). You have to with all the
Linux/OSS specific stuff in there ... This seem a bit stupid but I am
required to work with Solaris (for now).

Yes, I could try this. I am using the sunfreeware stuff for convenience
because I want to avoid to have to rebuild a full OSS environment all by
myself. 

However, it seems I found another way to have the overall crosstool.sh
script to succeed on my system. For all "gcc" configure phase (3 places
in the crosstool script), I am "forcing" the as/ld binaries to use the
following way (patch attached).

        --with-gnu-as \
        --with-as=${PREFIX}/bin/${TARGET}-as \
        --with-gnu-ld \
        --with-ld=${PREFIX}/bin/${TARGET}-ld \

Without this it looks like somewhere the wrong assembler or linker is
chosen (on solaris) by the generated cross-compilers. Does this look bad
or acceptable? How do you feel about it?

This allows the script to complete successfully on Solaris (and I guess
on any other platform). I still have to test the resulting tool chain
though.
