I tried to look for where the option '-KPIC' was located in

Any idea what happened and how I can proceed ?

Back in the 90's I worked with SunOS5/Solaris, but this is a new one for
me. :-)
A little searching turned up that *-KPIC / -Kpic* tells the Sun C
compiler to produce position independent code - the case of the flag
determines the maximum size of the global offset table. The equivalent
GCC flags are *-fPIC / **-fpic* ... you *might* be able to get away with
fixing up the makefile(s), if there are no other CC specific options.
Otherwise, you can try changing the configuration files [below] in the
sections pertaining to Solaris and/or SunOS, and then run configure
again to start over.
A grep of the [full] 6.5 release sources found the -KPIC option
referenced in the following files:
racket-6.5\src\foreign\libffi\configure
racket-6.5\src\foreign\libffi\m4\libtool.m4
racket-6.5\src\lt\aclocal.m4
racket-6.5\src\lt\configure
racket-6.5\src\racket\gc\configure
racket-6.5\src\racket\gc\doc\README.DGUX386
racket-6.5\src\racket\gc\libtool.m4
Obviously the Racket build maintainers will have to fix this at the
configuration level.
Hope this helps,
George
