According to the most recent STB, the cross compiler *still* doesn't run
on SunOS 4.0 !  Give your sales rep(tile) a call, or better yet give
Ripley's a call..

This hit us about a year ago when we got a 4/280 and everything was ready
for SunOS 4 (F77, TAAC, pc, Lucid) .. everything except the cross
compilers.
