OK, here is what I did

#!/bin/sh -vx
# vim:sw=2

for ld in /usr/ccs/bin/ld /usr/ucb/ld /usr/local/bin/ld
do
   LD=$ld
   export LD
   for cc in gcc /progs/SUNWspro/bin/cc /usr/ucb/cc
   do
     CC=$cc
     export CC
     for cxx in g++ CC
     do
       CXX=$cxx
       export CXX
       for make in gmake make
       do
         MAKE=$make
         export MAKE
         $MAKE distclean
         ./configure &&  $MAKE && ( echo $LD $CC $CXX $MAKE >> build.sh.out )
       done
     done
   done
done


and the results are:

Basically it never build successfully with gcc.  When I rebuilt GCC
I build it with Sun's tools in preference to the existing GCC which
didn't work for Fox.  I'm somewhat stuck now.  Any suggestions on
how to proceed?
