Nice typo :)

I've built 1.0.0 through 1.0.4 on Solaris 2.6 without problems - I'm
going to get round to building 1.0.5 today.  What C compiler are you
using?  (I've used gcc 2.7.2.3 and egcs 1.0.3 successfully)

I'll get back once I've built 1.0.5 and let you know how that went.

I also notice in <sys/isa_defs.h>:

 /*
  * Existing compilers do not set __sparcv8.  Years will transpire before
  * the compilers can be depended on to set the feature test macro. In
  * the interim, we'll set it here on the basis of historical behaviour;
  * if you haven't asked for SPARC V9, then you must've meant SPARC V8.
  */
 #if !defined(__sparcv9) && !defined(__sparcv8)
 #define __sparcv8
 #endif

Which sort of implies that __sparcv8 should be defined by default.  Hmm,
there could be something wrong with your installation...
