Yeah. All my testing on solaris2.x was with gcc-2.95.2 and --with-gnu-as 
--with-gnu-ld --with-gcc. 

I also had hella problems with static linkage, which caused me to rework 
the ctype code. If you use current CVS, you should be cool. Here's the 
orig bug report, FYI:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-bugs/2000-03/msg00274.html

This issue appears to have not been resolved in g++-land (the bits of v-3 
causing the original problem have been re-coded, in the name of expediency)

All of this should be put in the FAQ or on the status page. I'm in the 
process of updating status, and will put both status and detailed tool 
requirements on the new status page.
