Hmm ... I am suddenly reminded that gcc is fairly fragile about being
copied from one platform/version to another without care. Is it
possible that the gcc installations in use here were originally
generated on another Solaris release? If so they may contain private
copies of the system headers that don't match up with the current
platform. I've seen similar things happen on HPUX: gcc built on 11.11
just does not work very well on 11.23.
On a default HPUX build you can look into /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/ to
discern what the compiler was actually built on; not sure if the
equivalent directories are kept in the same place on Solaris.
