Paul, you're right. For builds, having /usr/ccs/bin (somewhere) in PATH should be standard on Solaris anyways. On Solaris10/SPARC, using amanda-2.4.5 gcc-3.4.3 (sfw stuff, available from Solaris10 companion CD) gcc-4.0.0 works, too GNU make-3.80 (invoked with absolute path to binary, since SYSV make would be first in PATH with your test) ...wouldn't it be a good idea to integrate a check for a valid "ar" into configure.in ?
