I cannot reproduce the problem with /usr/sfw/bin/gcc (Solaris 10,
sparc, the installation was last patched on Oct 20).
"/usr/sfw/bin/gcc --version" claims that it is gcc (GCC) 3.4.3
(csl-sol210-3_4-branch+sol_rpath).  "configure; make; make check"
works just fine.

My guess is is that it's a problem with the GCC installation at your
site.  Anyway, I don't know why one would bother with GCC 3.3 on
Solaris 10, given that GCC 3.4.3 comes standard from Sun.

Using LD_LIBRARY_PATH is a baaaad idea on Solaris.  But it's your
funeral.....
