My guess: You're using binutils as well, and it's a version that
doesn't work properly on Solaris -- or, at least, doesn't cooperate
with the relevant Solaris tools, leading to quiet or not-so-quiet
failures.  If you're using binutils, try de-installing them, or
install another version of gcc that won't use them, and see if that
fixes the problem.
