Thanks for the verbose output. It looks like the problem is that the old
output of gcc-[23] 'Reading specs from ... ' has been replaced in gcc-4
(at least in this configuration) by 'Using built-in specs'.
The following simple patch to hints/solaris_2.sh might be enough to get
things to work. Could you try it out? (apply with patch -p1). You'll
have to remove your old config.sh before re-running Configure.
rm config.sh
sh Configure [whatever options you want]
