Thanks for your replay.

Some if the things I`ve been wondering about is this:

1) I downloaded gcc from sunfreeware.com. I used that to bootstrap
pkgsrc. And to compile gcc from pkgsrc. After that i removed gcc from
sunfreeware. I guess that is correct?
2) It seems like i need to set some variables to get things to compile.
Like PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Anything else?

And while we are at it, i cant install vim. 
It fails on devel/ncurses. 
g++: /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-solaris2.9/3.3.2/crti.o: No such
file or directory
g++: /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-solaris2.9/3.3.2/crtbegin.o: No such
file or directory
g++: /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-solaris2.9/3.3.2/crtend.o: No such
file or directory
g++: /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-solaris2.9/3.3.2/crtn.o: No such
file or directory
*** Error code 1

It looks to me that i miss some files.
