Without having looked into the details, 2 issues are coming to my mind:
1. some versions of gcc miss to build their locale dir
$prefix/share/locale and require to make it manually in advance to 
"make install"
2. i18n support on Solaris is troublesome. Switching it off (configure
--disable-nls) when configuring gcc works around these issues.

In case you already haven't done, you also might want to have a look at
the way we invoke "configure" in scripts/gcc3newlib/gccnewlib.add and
scripts/binutils/binutils.add in RTEMS source tree. We apply several
non-standard configuration options for gcc configuration.

Other common issues in building on Solaris:
* Solaris /bin/sh is broken. You might want to use bash or
/usr/xpg4/bin/sh instead (using SHELL=.... and/or CONFIG_SHELL=....)
* You might want to use gmake instead of Solaris make.

I see you referring to /opt/rtems and to $HOME/opt/rtems in your
postings. The RTEMS/gcc toolchain binary rpms and the Solaris binary
tar-balls are not relocatible. You must install them under / and may not
install them anywhere else (eg. $(HOME)). If configuring manually you
can use any arbitrary directory to install to (e.g. --prefix=$(HOME) or
--prefix=$(HOME)/rtems).
