I believe these errors go away if you compile with GNU Make -- it 
seems we've picked up that dependency along the way.  You'll also find 
that the test suite doesn't compile on Solaris in 1.8.8 because we're 
using some BSD-derived functions and not linking to the socket 
libraries. There's been some work fairly recently to get the Solaris 
builds working better in the development branch, but that's still 
on-going.  (Most notably the cairo-trace tool needs some attention to 
make it less linux specific, and I hope that'll get done in time for 
the next stable release 1.10 as well.)  Anyway, for your problem, 
switching to GNU Make should sort you out.

Cheers,

Joonas
