I configured and built 2.3.7 on my workstation (Solaris 2.8) as follows

CC=cc LD=/usr/ccs/bin/ld ./configure
make check

This failed as you described

Out of interest I tried the same thing with 2.3.6 and got the same problem

My investigation into the Makefile showed that unless you did configure with
memory debug support you can't do the memory checking since you need to grep
through the .memdump files. Even if you do configure the memory debug
support, the test fails due to this line :-
          grep "MORY ALLO" .memdump  | grep -v "MEMORY ALLOCATED : 0";\

This always returns 0 and thus fails the make. I changed the line to :-

          grep "MORY ALLO" .memdump  | grep -v "MEMORY ALLOCATED : 1";\

and this made it always pass and thus continue the checks.

Daniel, what's the proper fix? I don't think this is a Solaris specifc thing.
