 Old by date, but still, it's the previous release :) His problems are
 certainly not related to this, as the real failures are at install time:

 o contrib/pgp6.rc is missing from the distribution,
 and some other failures I cannot reproduce. Possibly a shell problem.
 The $(srcdir)/$(PACKAGE).pot: target in po/Makefile behaves in my case.

 In there is a bug in make install for doc/muttrc.man if mutt is built
  outside the source directory.
 
 While Sun ships a few crappy tools, make is quite decent. And the C compiler
 (commercial, not the defunct stub in /usr/ucb) is quite good as well.
