It's most likely because gcc-3.x requires compilation *of* gcc and execution
*of* gcc on exactly the same OS revision (that is, *not* forward-compatible).
That is, a gcc-3.3 release built on Solaris 2.6 will not create correct
executables when compiling on a Solaris 8 box.

It has to do with the fact that gcc-3.x hardcodes what symbols the OS provides
in its /usr/lib. The symbols you listed were added in Solaris 8, IIRC. I'm
sure the GCC people can shed more light on this. -- justin
