It's most likely because gcc-3.x requires compilation *of* gcc and execution 
*of* gcc on exactly the same OS revision (that is, *not* forward-compatible). 
That is, a gcc-3.3 release built on Solaris 2.6 will not create correct 
executables when compiling on a Solaris 8 box.

It has to do with the fact that gcc-3.x hardcodes what symbols the OS provides 
in its /usr/lib.  The symbols you listed were added in Solaris 8, IIRC.  I'm 
sure the GCC people can shed more light on this.  -- justin
