[xslt] xsltproc link error

[Bob Rossi <bob brasko net>]

Hi all,

I'm building xsltproc on 
   6 (bar ultra) /home/USERS/blduser> uname -a
   SunOS ultra 5.5.1 Generic_103640-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-1

I've already successfully built it on an old ibm and hp machine. I'm
currently running into this link error on the ultra machine:
   gcc -g -O2 -Wall -o xsltproc xsltproc.o  ../libxslt/.libs/libxslt.a -L/home/TOOLS/libxml2/libxml2-2.6.10-1/bin -L/home/TOOLS/libxml2/libxml2-2.6.10-1/lib ../libexslt/.libs/libexslt.a /home/TOOLS/libxml2/libxml2-2.6.10-1/lib/libxml2.a -lsocket -lnsl -lm -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/home/TOOLS/libxml2/libxml2-2.6.10-1/lib
   ../libxslt/.libs/libxslt.a(xsltutils.o)(.text+0x808): In function `xsltTransformError':
   /home/bar/download/libxslt/builddir/libxslt/../../libxslt-1.0.33/libxslt/xsltutils.c:507: undefined reference to `vsnprintf'
   collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
   make[2]: *** [xsltproc] Error 1

Has anyone had this problem before? vsnprintf is unavailable. I am using
   -bash-2.05b$ gcc --version
   2.95.3

Here is a snippit of the configure output related to vsnprintf,
   checking for vfprintf... yes
   checking for vsprintf... yes
   checking for vsnprintf... no
   checking for sscanf... yes
   Reusing trio library for string functions

It looks as if there is supposed to be backup library functions if
these functions are not available. Any help would be greatly
appreciated!

Attached is the configure output with all the details.

Thanks,
Bob Rossi
