Re: Sparc buildd a cross-compiler?

[Stuart Krivis <ipswitch@apk.net>]

I ran across something similar a while ago when trying to get MySQL to 
compile on Solaris.

It turned out that, since I had installed gcc from a package off of 
sunfreeware.com, it considered itself a cross-compiler. Actually 
downloading the gcc source tarball and compiling it locally fixed the 
problem and MySQL was happy.

Maybe something similar is going on here?
