Please do not ever add /usr/sfw/libexec/gcc/i386-pc-solaris2.11/3.4.3
to your path.  Just add /usr/sfw/bin; that's all you need.  The
contents of that other directory are private implementation details.
Someone could put a binary in there called 'ls' that deletes your home
directory, and *you* would be at fault for having it in your path.

Or if you just want to change your own settings, bash uses
~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc.  These are just scripts.  See bash(1)
for details.
