ok.  I scrubbed the other one, and used this:
gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: sparc-sun-solaris2.10
Configured with: ../gcc/configure --srcdir=../gcc --prefix=/usr/local/gcc4nobin 
--disable-libgcj
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.0.1

                === ld tests ===

Schedule of variations:
    unix

Running target unix
Using /usr/local/share/dejagnu/baseboards/unix.exp as board description file 
for target.
Using /usr/local/share/dejagnu/config/unix.exp as generic interface file for 
target.
