libjava build still fails on sparc-sun-solaris2.9

Alexandre, thanks for the quick response!
Unfortunately, we missed GCC 3.2.3, but I did some testing, and the
problem also occurs on the 3.3 branch, and there it's not too late.

Unfortunately, it does not seem to make a difference on
sparc-sun-solaris2.9.
I put up the build log at <http://www.pfeifer.com/gerald/tmp/buildlog.gz>
and if you check that, even _with_ your patch, we have that long command-
line.
