Building the libc.a from the glibc distribution should be completely
painless for the sun3.  I took it, did `configure sun3', did a make,
and installed the libc.a in my /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sun3/2.1.  That,
with gas and ld built for the sun3, and gcc configured as above,
all make it work like a charm.  Don't be faint of heart. :)
