    Most freely available software has excellent documentation.  You're
    hard pushed in justifying your bitchin'.

    You must have a duff distribution, I had no problems. Are you using the
    gcc2.2.2 release, which also builds g++? I think I just had to type 

	  % ./configure sun4
	  % build_install # or make, some nice script anyway.
