Has anyone been able to get this to build at all on Solaris with gcc?

I got the ./configure to work, but the makefile is puking all over the place about a lot of the fiels in the include directories, adn then kicks about 4 pages of parse errors in the headers.  Yet the headers are jsut fine. 

I see people posting patches - is this a dead project?  they never seem to update the main downloads for platform neutral stuff.  I wish I knew more, but the automake and all that crap is so complex and entangled that I can make neither heads nor tails of it to try to fix it.
