New description:

 The title pretty much says it all. There is no way Sage will build with
 any gcc < 4.0.1. The 'prereq' script will stop any attempt and even if you
 bypass that stop (by setting the appropriate environment variable), Sage
 will not build

 I've attached a revised README.txt, which addresses this and

  * The fact gcc, g++ and gfortran need to be the same versions.
  * Spelling change of Sparc -> SPARC.
  * Better information about what does and does not work on Solaris.
