Read src/tools/compat/README.  To wit:

* /bin/sh *MUST* be replaced with a copy of, or symlink to, either
  /bin/ksh or /usr/xpg4/bin/sh.  This will be fixed in the future to use
  /usr/xpg4/bin/sh in nbmake by default.  (Solaris's /bin/sh is broken
  in some fantastic and amazing ways.)

There's a lot of other very important Solaris info in that file.
