Did you add appropriate CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS arguments for configure,  
to tell it about your installation location?

Well, the --with-gc=none workflow would be compiling without first,  
then reconfiguring and recompiling with some other --with-gc= option  
later on.

On x86-64 OpenSolaris, you can use --with-gc=boehm right away, worked  
nicely with Boehm GC 7.1 for me. If there is a compilation problem in  
Boehm GC, you may need to install a more recent build (some in the low  
90 range was broken).

Best regards,
