This is a bug in GCC 3.0.3. You had a GCC 2.xx installed at the same
place earlier, and it installed a file assert.h in
  /auto/insbu-cnstools/sparc-sun-solaris2.6/include/assert.h
This file doesn't work anymore with GCC 3.0.3. IMO GCC 3.0.3 ought to
have removed it or moved it to
  /auto/insbu-cnstools/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.6/2.xxx/include/assert.h
but it didn't do it.

The fix for you is to remove this assert.h file (but not the one in
/usr/include !) and rebuild gettext using "make clean; make".
