Most probably A mismatch of gcc installation and OS header files.
You have /appl/gnu/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1/2.7.2.3/include/.....
                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^
and tell us that you have Solaris 2.6.

You might need to re-install gcc;
actually I think (from reports of Brian Ripley and others) that it would be
worth to get gcc 3.0  and install that.
