That's bad, and certainly does not happen on my Solaris systems.
The "(cached)" marker indicates this is not the first time you ran
./configure, which implies maybe you did a few test runs first and
tweaked some things. True?
In any case, the first thing I'd try is removing config.cache and
starting with ./configure again.
The other thing I'd try is "gcc --verbose" and make sure the compiler
has been built for Solaris 2.6.
If none of that helps, take a look at config.log and see why the locking
tests are failing.

That's a good plan.
