	Maybe I'm just an idiot, but I'm completely stuck in my attempt to
install GNU make.  I'm installing (well, trying to |->) the "basic"  GNU
stuff (gcc, bash, make, bintools, etc) on a Sparcstation 10 running
Solaris 2.3.  I've gotten and installed the compiled binaries for gcc
2.5.6 and gzip, and have the source unpacked for GNU make, which I need to
compile bash (or anything else).
	The docs for make say to run 'sh build.sh', but when I do, it
complains that I don't have as.  I've installed all the packages off the
Solaris CD-ROM that the docs said I needed to, but the one that the docs
said would contain as didn't.  I've gotten the source for the binutils
package which contains as, but in order to compile it I need make, which I
can't compile without as.  Catch-22.
	I'm stuck at this point until I can find a pre-compiled SPARC as
somewhere.  Anyone know where one might be found?  Alternatively, is
there something I missed somewhere in the installation of gcc or make or
anything else?  Thanks for any help.
