m68k-rtems-gcc toolchain build problem on Solaris-7

With help from Thomas (see below) I used the files he pointed out at

ftp://ftp.rtems.com/pub/rtems/releases/4.6.0pre5/tools

to run the build according to the PDF file at
http://www.rtems.com/onlinedocs/releases/rtemsdocs-4.6.0pre5/share/rtems/pdf/started.pdf
and I followed the PDF file instructions carefully for:

     4.1.2 Unarchiving the Tools
     4.1.3 Applying RTEMS Patches,
             Apply RTEMS Patch to GCC,
             Apply RTEMS Patch to binutils,
             Apply RTEMS Patch to newlib
     4.1.4.2 Using configure and make,
                 Configuring and Building BINUTILS,
                 Configuring and Building GCC and NEWLIB

Binutils built and installed without error.

Building gcc-3.2.3 died as follows:

Note that ../src/gcc is where I unpacked the gcc-3.2.3 source tree and
applied the patches.
The above file includes  ./gcc/include/limits.h:
      9  #ifndef _LIBC_LIMITS_H_
     10  /* Use "..." so that we find syslimits.h only in this same
directory.  */
     11  #include "syslimits.h"    <<<===============OK
     12  #endif
     13  #ifndef _LIMITS_H___
     14  #define _LIMITS_H___

The above file includes ./gcc/include/syslimits.h:
      1  /* syslimits.h stands for the system's own limits.h file.
      2     If we can use it ok unmodified, then we install this text.
      3     If fixincludes fixes it, then the fixed version is installed
      4     instead of this text.  */

      6  #define _GCC_NEXT_LIMITS_H              /* tell gcc's limits.h
to recurse */
      7  #include_next <limits.h>    <<<============= dies here searching
for a secondary instance of limits.h
      8  #undef _GCC_NEXT_LIMITS_H

What is "the system's own limits.h file" ???  linux?  solaris? newlib?
rtems?
The "#include_next" is a feature of the newer gcc's

  From my  build directory
(/sd/c0t8d0/opt1/web/sites/ftp.rtems.com/tools/gcc-3.2.3/build.m68k-rtems/gcc)
if I run the command below

     find .. ../../src /tools/local.m68k-rtems -follow -name limits.h -print

shows the following:

     find: ../gcc/cp/stage1: No such file or directory
     find: ../gcc/cp/stage2: No such file or directory
     find: ../gcc/cp/stage3: No such file or directory

     find: ../gcc/fixinc/stage3: No such file or directory
     find: ../gcc/fixinc/stage4: No such file or directory
     ../gcc/fixinc/include/limits.h
     ../gcc/include/limits.h
     ../../src/gcc/fixinc/tests/base/sys/limits.h
     ../../src/libstdc++-v3/config/cpu/generic/bits/limits.h
     ../../src/libstdc++-v3/include/c_compatibility/limits.h
     ../../src/libstdc++-v3/include/c_shadow/limits.h
     ../../src/newlib/newlib/libc/include/limits.h
     ../../src/newlib/newlib/libc/sys/linux/include/limits.h
     ../../src/newlib/newlib/libc/sys/rtems/include/limits.h
     ../../src/newlib/newlib/libc/sys/rtems/machine/limits.h

The above list shows --ALL-- of the instances of  files named "limits.h"
available to this build;  in fact, everything
that might possibly pertain to the RTEMS tool sources I downloaded.


The file "./include/limits.h"  (aka ../gcc/include/limits.h) is the file
that xgcc finds on line 1166 above.
The file "syslimits.h"  tries to use the "#include_next" mechanism to
find a secondary "limits.h",  however,
the xgcc include path doesn't have any more files along the path.   As
best I can determine the xgcc include path
should effectively be (from top to bottom):
     ../../src/gcc/../newlib/libc/sys/rtems/include
     .
     ../../src/gcc
     ../../src/gcc/config
     ../../src/gcc/../include

/sd/c0t8d0/opt1/web/sites/ftp.rtems.com/tools/gcc-3.2.3/build.m68k-rtems/m68k-rtems/newlib/targ-include

/sd/c0t8d0/opt1/web/sites/ftp.rtems.com/tools/gcc-3.2.3/src/newlib/libc/include
     /tools/local.m68k-rtems/m68k-rtems/include
     ./include

Since 'configure' builds the makefiles here and I have no idea what it
is trying to accomplish here, I really don't know
what to fix.   As best I can tell the Solaris toolchain is broken.

Some further data:

     rtems> uname -a
     SunOS u2 5.7 Generic_106541-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIi-Engine

     rtems> perl --version
     This is perl, v5.6.0 built for sun4-solaris

     rtems> autoconf --version
     autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59

     rtems> automake --version
     automake (GNU automake) 1.8

     rtems> gmake --version
     GNU Make 3.80

     rtems> gcc --version
     2.95.2

     rtems> type m68k-rtems-as
     m68k-rtems-as is /tools/local.m68k-rtems/bin/m68k-rtems-as

     rtems> m68k-rtems-as --version
     GNU assembler 2.13.2.1

I would appreciate some guidance here.

Thanks much.
