Thanks for your help! Only one more question: I don't have an assembler
installed yet, and on www.sunfeeware.com there's no package for this
version of gcc yet, do you have any idea where I can find it? Apparently
it should also be included as a package on the Solaris CD-ROM, but I
can't find out which package to install... And if not available as a
package, any help on how to install it would also be very welcome :-)

/usr/ccs/bin/as is in package SUNWsprot
system      SUNWsprot      Solaris Bundled tools

The solaris FAQ says:

6.2) Which packages do I need to install to support a C compiler?

    Solaris ships with everything you need, with the exception of the
    compiler itself.  Solaris ships with the include files, make, an
    assembler, linker and libraries.  All this stuff lives in
    /usr/ccs/bin (add it to your PATH before /usr/ucb if that's in your
    PATH as well) /usr/ccs/lib and /usr/include.

    If you still can't find it, make sure you have the following
    packages installed on your system:

	for tools (sccs, lex, yacc, make, nm, truss, ld, as):
	    SUNWbtool, SUNWsprot, SUNWtoo
	for libraries & headers:
	    SUNWhea, SUNWarc, SUNWlibm, SUNWlibms
	    SUNWdfbh, SUNWcg6h, SUNWxwinc, SUNWolinc,
	    SUNWxglh
	for 64 bit development:
	    SUNWarcx, SUNWbtoox, SUNWdplx, SUNWscpux, SUNWsprox,
	    SUNWtoox, SUNWlmsx, SUNWlmx, SUNWlibCx
	for ucb compat:
	    SUNWsra, SUNWsrh

    These packages are all on the Solaris 2.x CDs, except that some
    packages may only exist in some releases and not in others.
    Some packages may be on separate CDs, such as the "Desktop/CDE"
    CD, but all are part of the Solaris "bundle".

as is the assembler used by gcc to generate object code.  You may or may
not have an assembler already on Solaris 7 (/usr/ccs/bin???) but there
is a GNU one available in the binutils package which will probably be
available from the same place you got gcc-2.95.1 from and will install
as where gcc expects to find it.

Good luck!

Jim.
