Success!

So take my "10-steps-to-building-pkgsrc-from-scratch-on Solaris 10"
message, send it to /dev/null, and replace it with this:

 - After running bootstrap, add the following to /usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf:
    USE_PKGSRC_GCC=YES
    GCC_REQD+=3
 - Add this to $PATH:
   /usr/ccs/bin:/usr/sfw/bin/gcc
   (along with your pkgsrc bin and sbin paths of course)
 - Go bmake gcc3

In fact that last step could say: "Go bmake anything" because the
system will DTRT. That is, it will first use /usr/sfw/bin/gcc to
build pkgsrc's gcc, and then because USER_PKGSRC_GCC=yes, it'll use
pkgsrc's gcc for the rest of that build (and all builds after that
of course). Gavan and I have tested this by starting from scratch a
few different times with different packages.

Note also that the need to temporarily set LD_LIBRARY_PATH
has gone away too. :-)

Thank you pkgsrc team!

Eric

P.S. The reason /usr/ccs/bin is needed in $PATH
     is because thats' where ar(1) lives on Solaris.
