Hello,

If you have the Solaris 8 CD's, then grab the CD named "software
companion". On it there is a version of gcc-2.95.3 compiled by SUN with
WorkShop 5.x. One word of advice though: -DON'T- use the 2.95.3 compilers
for Solaris 8 from www.SunFreeWare.com and -DON'T- try to build one
yourself unless you know what you are doing.  (there are reasons why you
don't want to do this). Get your gcc,g++,gcj from the Software Companion
CD and if you don't have that, it's available for download at
http://www.sun.com/download
Hope this helps...
