Your errors are actually from building one of the host tools for your
solaris-sparc-gnu target, and probably mean that you're going to have to
upgrade the gcc and g++ version on the Solaris workstation.  This is
nothing to do with vxWorks at all, it's related to the compiler that
builds code to run on Solaris.  The upgrade will not cost any money, but
will have to be done by your Solaris systems administrator.

What is the version of your current g++ on your workstation?  Run this
command and send us the output:

  /usr/local/bin/g++ --version

I don't know what the earliest version of gcc that will work is, at APS
we're now using gcc 3.2 or later on all our systems.
