By default, sun4_sosV_5.6.mk uses 'CC' for the C++ compiler and 'gcc'
for the C compiler.

What you are trying to do is replace a C compiler with a C++ compiler,
when actually you should be replacing 'gcc' with 'cc' rather than 'CC'.
So all you have to do is uncomment the 'cc' region and comment out the
'gcc' region in the sun4_sosV_5.6.mk makefile.

Only if you don't have Sun's C and C++ compilers installed with
corresponding licenses.

But, if you already have a gcc distribution installed, replacing 'gcc'
with 'cc' in sun4_sosV_5.6.mk doesn't provide you with anything extra.
