Installation help (saveload.c)

I'm trying to install R on a SunOS 5.6 system.
Your gcc appears to be for SunOS5.4, and gcc version 2.7.0. You will need a gcc for SunOS 5.6. That seems to be the real problem. Also, gcc version 2.7.0 is years old. Pre-built versions of gcc for Solaris are available at various sites, even for Solaris versions as old as 2.6, but it only takes a few minutes to build 2.95.3 (the current version) from the sources.
The first problem I encountered was during configuration.
From config.log:
configure:7171: checking whether the C++ compiler (c++ ) works
configure:7187: c++ -o conftest -I/usr/local/include conftest.C
-L/usr/local/lib 1>&5
ld: fatal: library -lstdc++: not found
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to conftest
configure: failed program was:
#line 7182 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
int main(){return(0);}
I've asked local system administrators for help finding the missing
library file. While waiting, I specified CXX=gcc in config.site as a
possible work-around. This allowed configure to create a makefile.
That's again a symptom of a mis-installed gcc, or a failure to set a library path (or mis-setting it).
But now, make fails:
main[61]% pwd
/erd/statistic/apps/R-1.2.3/src/main
main[62]% gcc -I. -I../../src/include -I../../src/include
-I/usr/local/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -g -O2 -c saveload.c -o
saveload.o

The errors appear to be due to lines in select.h and param.h. These
appear to be Sun-supplied files, so at this point I don't know what
to do.
Thanks for any suggestions.
