Subject: [PORTS] configure fails on solaris

I'm trying to run configure on Solaris.  At line 13509, conftest fails.  I hope someone can suggest what the problem is.

I'm not running it as root, but as the user teprpg01 in a group that has write permissions to the directory tree.

Here's an excerpt from config.log with the error at the end (I snipped the middle):

--------------------------------------------------------------
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by PostgreSQL configure 7.4.2, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.53.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure --with-java --with-pgport=6100 --prefix=/usr/local/teprpg01
