You're trying to compile gcc, so you can use it to compile things. That is a catch-22. To compile gcc, you need a compiler.

Try installing gcc the normal way, using whatever your distribution's package manager is, instead of building it by hand. Unless you're using a source-only distro there's almost almost almost never a reason to build it by hand.

Thanks for you reply!

As far as I know Solaris 10 (sorry, I didn't mention my OS version before) comes with gcc but just an old version.

I'm not a sysadmin and I really don't know how is the normal way Smilie

Would you like to provide a link or an example about how is that, please?
