I see the same error on Solaris 8/x86.

Look closer in the buildlogs, you'll see that the objects that it is 
complaining about where not built with a pic flag.

The most likely candidate for having caused this break is this patch:
http://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;h=e8641b7435587c748491cc82c038ebcf41e6d4b6

It touches the picflags in the Ada subdir.

The fix is probably this commit that was made after 4.7.1 was tagged:
http://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;h=176ff0f9a1016553978d6cf41770703e2ad90958

I'm starting a build now with this patch included, but it will be some 
hours before I have a result.
