Thanks for the quick feedback.  Some comments:

I don't observe these warnings on my Solaris 10 sparc with Sun Studio
12.  (Specifically, this box is patched up through October 15, and is
running Sun C 5.12 SunOS_sparc 2011/11/16.)  I configured with
'./configure CC=cc'.

I suspect you configured with --enable-gcc-warnings.  If so, that's
probably the problem -- that option is intended for use with GCC,
and might not work with Sun C.

I think these failures are due to the build-tool problem that I mentioned in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grep/2013-10/msg00047.html>.
'configure' is selecting /bin/sh, but on Solaris 10 it should
select /bin/bash.  It's then getting confused by the $(...)
syntax, which is not supported by /bin/sh on Solaris 10.
