I've loaded Solaris2.5 on a Sun IPX (but still have SunOS 4.1.3
installed on separate partitions) and am trying to install gcc2.7.1,
(in /opt/gnu).

I have no trouble whatever getting gcc to compile under 4.1.3,
(sparc-sun-sunos4.1) but getting it to compile under solaris 2.5
(sparc-sun-solaris2) is another matter.  I tried:
1. mounting the 4.1.3 partition with gcc from solaris and re-making
gcc (to /opt/GNU).  (Note that solaris doesn't come with a C compiler.)
This failed when the assembler hit an "invalid operand value 'bss'".

2. cross-compiling the solaris2 compiler under the 4.1.3 system using
the configure flags
  configure --build=sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3 --host=sparc-sun-solaris2
and --target as solaris2,  This got farther, but also failed when
trying to assembel sol2-c1.asm, "unknown opcode ".section", ".type"
etd.
