Now that GCC is configured, you are ready to build the compiler and
runtime libraries.
-We @strong{highly} recommend that GCC be built using GNU make;
-other versions may work, then again they might not.
-GNU make is required for compiling GNAT (the Ada compiler) and the Java
-runtime library.
-
-(For example, many broken versions of make will fail if you use the
-recommended setup where @var{objdir} is different from @var{srcdir}.
-Other broken versions may recompile parts of the compiler when
-installing the compiler.)
-
Some commands executed when making the compiler may fail (return a
nonzero status) and be ignored by @command{make}. These failures, which
are often due to files that were not found, are expected, and can safely
% export CONFIG_SHELL

-and then proceed as described in @uref{build.html,,the build instructions},
-where we strongly recommend using GNU make and specifying an absolute path
-to invoke @var{srcdir}/configure.

Solaris 2 comes with a number of optional OS packages. Some of these
are needed to use GCC fully, namely @code{SUNWarc},
