You may find that much of this complexity in the 'configure' command
could be eliminated by taking the following steps:

* export CPATH=/home/admini/saper/sparcv9/include
* export LIBRARY_PATH=/home/admini/saper/sparcv9/lib
* export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/admini/saper/sparcv9/lib/pkgconfig
* install 'pkg-config' and make sure it's in PATH

That should allow you to simplify the command to this, if not further:

../../src/guile-2.0.11/configure --build=sparc-sun-solaris.2.9 --host=sparc64-sun-solaris.2.9 --target=sparc64-sun-solaris.2.9 --prefix=/home/admini/saper/sparcv9 CC="/home/admini/saper/sparcv7/bin/gcc -m64 -mcpu=ultrasparc3" CC_FOR_BUILD="/home/admini/saper/sparcv7/bin/gcc -m64 -mcpu=ultrasparc3" AR=/usr/ccs/bin/ar LD=/usr/ccs/bin/ld NM=/usr/ccs/bin/nm STRIP=/usr/ccs/bin/strip

It should also work around the problem you're having.

There may be additional difficulties related to the fact that you appear
to be cross-compiling.  Did you read the section "Cross building Guile"
in our README?

This doesn't appear to be the same 'configure' script that we distribute
with guile-2.0.11.  The line numbers are different.  Did you regenerate
it?

> configure:14694: /home/admini/saper/sparcv7/bin/gcc -m64 -mcpu=ultrasparc3 -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c  -lunistring >&5
> conftest.c:123:21: fatal error: uniconv.h: No such file or directory
>  #include <uniconv.h>
>                      ^
> compilation terminated.

I agree that this is likely a problem in the m4 code, which we import
from gnulib, but for now, can you see if the above suggestions work for
you and report back?

     Thanks,
       Mark
