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. See the marked (>>>>>>>>>>) lines below:

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.
Thanks a bunch - I would have never spotted that ;-))
HOWEVER, :-((
The following errors occurred at what seems to be the very end of make
(all the libs seem to have been generated ./build_sol2/src/.libs/libppl.so.7.1.0 ./build_sol2/src/.libs/libppl.so.7 ./build_sol2/src/.libs/libppl.so ./build_sol2/src/.libs/libppl.a ./build_sol2/src/.libs/libppl.lai ./build_sol2/src/.libs/libppl.la ./build_sol2/src/libppl.la )
But the following errors were reported
