Wow, welcome to 2004!

I expect you will have some difficulty, and could perhaps build a newer
gcc in a different prefix and try to use that.  But I have no Solaris
experience.

There may be a difference between using it as the shell when
intentionally invoked from pkgsrc and just running ./configure which is
a script that has its own #! line.  If that's true (and I am
*guessing*), then it could perhaps be overridden.  Try changing it to
/usr/bin/sh in files/configure before bootstrapping.
