After disabling MDNS as below, the error is this:

/bin/bash ../libtool --mode=link g++  -g -O2   -L/usr/sfw/lib -lrt -o

libtool: link: `/usr/sfw/lib/libstdc++.la' is not a valid libtool archive

I notice a mdns.lo in there, and I'm guessing that's the problem. If I  
disable mdns, why is a library for it still being linked? Then again,  
maybe this error means something else. I'm not that great at C...

Bah, there is a sparc package. It should work.

I think the main issue is the build environment. I'm trying to build using  
the tools in /usr/sfw (although I tried the Sun Studio 11 compiler as  
well, without success). Maybe some required libraries are missing? I've  
disabled everything in the config that I won't need (hfs, postgresql,  
mysql, etc.).

Under Linux, cvsnt builds without much effort. That's why I was asking  
what the build environment is like for building the sparc package. Are  
they using the stuff in /usr/sfw, or blastwave's tools, or  
sunfreeware.org, or the Sun Studio? Something else?

The typical "./configure && make && make install" won't work on Solaris.
