I think the instructions are fine, and apply to Solaris 8 as well.  The 
only thing I might add is that you might want to say ABI=32 should work.

I also know that on Solaris 10 with /usr/sfw/bin/gcc does not work.  
Without ABI, it fails because somehow the compiler flags chosen include 
something bogus like %LDFLAG%.  (Don't have the exact message right now; 
it's at work.)  And ABI=32 doesn't work because of the sparc-mach-dep.o 
issue.  I'm trying to do my own build of gcc 3.4.3 (same version as 
supplied by Sun), but using Sun as/ld instead of binutils.  I'll let you 
know how that goes.
