Not the problem here, as I've never even been able to build gcc from pkgsrc.
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?
Yes, our SmartOS packages are entirely based on gcc46/gcc47. I'd
suggest that you simply install my illumos packages:
http://www.perkin.org.uk/pages/pkgsrc-binary-packages-for-illumos.html
and use the gcc47 from there to bootstrap your pkgsrc.
