I can't reproduce this with either cross compiling from ppc to sparc  
with 2.0.4, or with natively compiling under solaris/sparc with  
2.1.1. Can you compile your compiler with debug info (add OPT="-O- - 
g" to your make command) and attach with gdb to see what the compiler  
is doing?

Normally you should first do a "make all" before you do a "make  
zipinstall", but this shouldn't make the compiler hang.
