Your gcc appears to be for SunOS5.4, and gcc version 2.7.0.  You will need
a gcc for SunOS 5.6.  That seems to be the real problem.  Also, gcc version
2.7.0 is years old.  Pre-built versions of gcc for Solaris are available at
various sites, even for Solaris versions as old as 2.6, but it only takes
a few minutes to build 2.95.3 (the current version) from the sources.

That's again a symptom of a mis-installed gcc, or a failure to set a
library path (or mis-setting it).
