If you have access to a SPARCstation running SunOS 4 (Solaris 1), you
can try to build the GNU binutils (as, ld, etc.) as cross binutils
(host sparc-sun-sunos4, target sparc-sun-solaris2) and then run them
on the Solaris 2 machine in binary compatibility mode to use them to
rebuild the GNU binutils for Solaris 2 native.
