AFAIK it doesn't.
I use gcc-current for this, I know there is gcc-3.0 in some pre-release
state.

I recommend to use target sparc-sun-solaris2.8, in this case you'll
get bi-arch compiler. You'll need to uncomment config.gcc piece
beneath that target. I recommend to use sun's SUNWpro compiler for
bootstrap.

AFAIK in case of you use gcc-current(or 3.0) - no.
