   I am trying to get GCC running on a sparc-classic with solaris 2.1;
   I have the gcc-solaris.... and gzip-solaris... files from prep.ai,
   but gcc asks for 'as' when tring to compile. It seems that gcc
   wants to use the SUN assembler, which, unfortunately, doesn't come
   with solaris 2.1 :-(

Yes it does, but you have to install the corresponding package
("SUNWbtool").  This also contains other useful tools like make, ar,
yacc etc.

   Does this mean that gcc must be re-built to use 'gas' and that
   'gas' must also be built for solaris??

No.  In fact I'm not even sure that there is a fully functional GAS
port for Solaris 2.x.

   Is there some way around this so I can compile stuff for my
   sparc-classic???

Sure, just install SUNWbtool and use GCC.  Works like a charm.
