It's been rumoured that Alan Orndorff said:

I don't know what this error is but my guess is that solaris
make is not compatible with gnu make. Try specifying gmake instead.

ln -s on other unixes means 'symbolic link'
ln -f on other unixes means 'force the link even if file exists'.
I guess that's not how solaris works.

I can't accept this since the proposed fix does not do the right thing.
That's not how putenv works.

NAME
setenv - change or add an environment variable
SYNOPSIS

int setenv(const char *name, const char *value, int overwrite);
void unsetenv(const char *name);

with the value
value, if name does not already exist. If name does exist in
the environment,
then its value is changed to value if overwrite is non-zero;

The unsetenv() function deletes the variable name from the
environment.
RETURN VALUE
The setenv() function returns zero on success, or -1 if there
was insufficient
