Actually I now see in <http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#x86-64-x-x>
that 64-bit x86_64 compilation on Solaris is not supported by GCC:
  "GCC supports the x86-64 architecture implemented by the AMD64 processor
   (amd64-*-* is an alias for x86_64-*-*) on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD."

You have managed to build a GCC in an unsupported configuration (how?), and
now you're encountering bugs. You're on your own.
