There is a long-standing GCC bug (ever since GCC started to use 
libtool) on the Solaris platform in which the paths to the uninstalled 
compiler libraries are recorded in the libstdc++.la file.  These paths 
end up being used.  So in order for a GCC install to be properly 
usable, the compiler build directory needs to be moved or removed. 
The cruft in the .la file remains.  This seems to be a bug in the 
modified libtool that GCC uses.

So from the get-go GCC is miss-configured under Solaris. :-(
