Sorry to be late in responding to your questino, but other things got
in the way :-P So I'm back and trying to install via the binary method,
which requires:

Prerequisite Programs

gcc 2.7.x 
GNU make 
gdb 

Prerequisite Libraries

libXpm 
Tcl/Tk 
BLT-2.1 
libtclobjc-1.1b6 

But you probably already know that. I built gcc, make, gdb and was
going to build Tcl/Tk, I need hypot.o which is in libm.a for GNU based
systems, but is called:

w_hypot.o
e_hypot.o

In Solaris 2.4's /usr/lib/libm.a. Grrr.

So, I was trying to build glibc, which I *think* includes libm in it,
but haven't had *ANY* luck with that.
