I compiled 2.7.2 on a 2.4 machine last week, with the 2.6.0 gcc package I
obtained on the Net (checkout http://smc.vnet.net/lists.html#opcom). Initially
I was able to compile up a gcc binary that compiled up a simple 'hello world'
program but failed trying to compile libg++. I then deleted the version I had
installed and rebuilt 2.7.2 using the 'bootstrap' target (search the INSTALL
file for bootstrap) and then was able to compile libg++ okay without probs. The
'bootstrap' target appears to automate the stage1/2 build process - I don't
really understand exactly what it does (anyone care to explain?).

I would suggest you get the gcc package and use that instead of SparcWorks -
well it worked for me?!

Sorry I can't offer any diagnostic help on your specific problem; wish you
luck. 

Dave.
