Sorry for the noise, after tracing this it appears as though

    "cc: -xc99=lib is not available on SunOS 5.10"

is actually a cryptic way of saying

    "You do not have SUNWarc installed on your system"

and after installing this the failure goes away.  We document SUNWarc as
being a requirement in bootstrap/README.Solaris so there's no excuse...
