Rich, I'm pretty certain that I've read in php.net in the manual or perhaps in the source README that you need to be using all gnu tools to successfully compile.
I usually grab them as binaries from sunfreeware.com. (also check your solaris install cd's, i believe the software companion has binutils) So if you go to www.sunfreeware.com and click on the link on the left "Ftp/Mirrors", you will get a list of ftp/http mirrors, and then you will want to click thru for solaris 5.7, sparc, and then look for the binutils package (which has the linker, as, etc). the site has some good hints and instructions on installing solaris packages, but in breif you will have to unzip the package (using gzip, 'gunzip binutils.xxx.gz'), and then install the package by typing 'pkgadd -d unzipped_directory_name' note that you might already have it installed, and you can check (sorry if you know all this) by typing 'pkginfo | grep SMCbinutils' If you wish to compile the gnu binutils from source, you can grab the source from ftp://ftp.gnu.org.
