What problems did you run into?

I tried building gcc4{6,7,8} on OpenIndiana (SunOS 5.11) recently, and for
all three ran into a weird error where something in the build appeared to
ascend to lang/gcc??/.. and work through all the subdirectories in lang
with lots of make errors. The same build on netbsd-6 worked fine.

Has anybody successfully built lang/gcc?? on SunOS derived OSes recently?
