Very Computer

I am trying to build MIT X11R5 on a SPARC LX running Solaris 2.1.
I have applied mit patch levels 1 through 22, and Solaris patch.
The README file in the Solaris patch for X11R5 tells me that
I need GCC-2.3.3 and it says it is available on prep.ai.mit.edu
in both the source and bynary forms. But I could not find either
of them anywhere on that machine or any other ftp sites.

What happen to the files? Can I build GCC-2.3.3 from GCC-2.4.5
by applying gcc-*.diff files in reverse order? If so, how?

Thanks.

Take a look in: pub/gnu/sparc-sun-solaris2/

Note: this is 2.4.5, which should be able to build anything that 2.3.3
      was able to.

Use 2.4.5.

The binaries for gcc for Solaris 2.1 are located in a subdirectory of
/pub/gnu called, not very surprisingly, sparc-sun-solaris2. This is
not always up to date, i.e., the source version last time I looked
was 2.4.5 but the binary version was 2.4.4 - not a major big deal.
