I am trying to build gcc compiler with the required options enabled on Linux 64 machine. I need gcc to be complied with 64 bit machine so that i can compile C and C++ program in both the modes (with 32 and 64 machine). I know there are many gcc rpm which are already available, however, i want to understand how can we build gcc compiler on our own.
May be some day i' ll have to build it on Solaris or other platform.
Could you please tell me some links or document which would be helpful to get started ?
Below, i have mentioned machine configuration.
$ uname -a
Linux HOSTNAME 2.6.18-194.el5 #1 SMP Tue Mar 16 21:52:39 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Thanks,

Could you help me with some links where i can get the complete gcc pkg for Solaris ?
Actually, I am struggling to run some shared library on Solaris with the current gcc 3.4.6 installed on the machine.
It fails during the run time saying "_cxaatexit" symbol are not found. When i do gcc -v, i can see that the cxaatexit has not been enabled while building this gcc. Therefore, I am trying to build latest gcc, hoping that everything would fall in place.
