 The GCC-build expects to see the system's own 'limits.h' in the
'$prefix/$target/sys-include' not in the '$prefix/$target/include'
during the build... Whether this is a bug or feature is not relevant,
but it is the case. Then the GCCs own 'limits.h' will be fixed to
include the system's own 'limits.h' via the 'syslimits.h'...

 This doesn't remove the bug which exists after the installation. So
you either have to fix the 'limits.h' in the GCC_INCLUDE_DIR :

  /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris/2.95.3/include

to include the 'syslimits.h' in the same directory, somewhere in the
file beginning, or to rebuild with the 'limits.h' seen in the 'sys-include'.
Anyway symlinking it into the 'sys-include' for the next upgrade build,
eg. into gcc-3.0.x or gcc-3.1.x wouldn't be a bad idea.

 This is a well-known bug in the SVR4-targets. As with the 'limits.h',
you can either let the GCC-build to fix the 'math.h' into the GCC_INCLUDE_DIR,
or fix it yourself like here :

  extern int matherr __P((struct exception *));

  /*

----------------------- clip ----------------------

 When you have copies in your cross-host, editing the copy is not as
big sin as editing the original in the Solaris2 box... Again, leave
the fixed 'math.h' into the $prefix/$target/include to wait for the
next upgrade...

Cheers, Kai
