If you anonymous ftp to ftp.uu.net and look in the directory
systems/gnu/sparc-su-solaris2 you'll see:
	gzip-binaries-1.2.2.tar.Z
	INSTALL.gcc.Z
	gzip-1.2.2.shar.Z
	gcc-binaries-2.5.6.tar.gz-split/
	gcc-2.5.6.tar.gz-split

I just un-tar'ed the gzip and gcc binaries and it runs on my IPC with
Solaris 2.2

HOWEVER: It doesn't have g++, and when I got the latest gcc package
and tried to compile it and libg++, I got assembler errors from the
libg++ tests. The libg++ INSTALL files mention that it's a known bug
in the gcc binaries and compiling the new gcc without the '-g' flag 
should fix it. But I didn't have any luck. And so far I haven't gotten any 
answers from gnu.libg++.help. So unless you can find the problem, we may be 
stuck with paying for somebody's compiler just to get started. 

We can always get g++ pre-compiled from RTR Software for $275, but that
seems like a lot of money for free software. Oh well...

If you get any answers I'd appreciate a posting or note.

Good Luck,
 Mike
