Take
ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/sparc/8/libgcc-3.3-sol8-sparc-local.gz
which includes the files and links

libgcc_s.so    libstdc++.a   libstdc++.so    libstdc++.so.5.0.4
libgcc_s.so.1  libstdc++.la  libstdc++.so.5  sparcv9

./sparcv9:
libgcc_s.so.1        libstdc++.a   libstdc++.so    libstdc++.so.5.0.4
libgcc_s_sparcv9.so  libstdc++.la  libstdc++.so.5

Since these files are part of the gcc package, you may not need to install
it if you already have gcc 3.3 installed. This package is created because
some programs will not run without these libraries - installs in
/usr/local/lib.
