I think I found the problem but do not know how to fix it. -L/usr/sfw/lib is being included by configure in the additional libs list. That directory contains a version of libstdc++ which is not compatible with the gcc 4.4.0 compiler I built.

Woo-Hoo - I had to set LDFLAGS to the proper lib directory for my gcc 4.4.0 build (-L/net/whistler/auto/users/tovrea/local/sol2/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2 .10/4.4.0) After which, configure (and my test compile of "Hello World") worked perfectly.
