My suggestion is to not worry about /bin/sh there. I.e., just run:

  ./configure CC="/opt/SUNwspro/bin/cc -m64"

and let 'configure' re-exec itself with a better shell. Or, if you'd 
rather pick the shell yourself, choose /bin/bash or /bin/ksh or 
/usr/xpg4/bin/sh instead of /bin/sh. The idea is to not bother testing 
with Solaris 10 /bin/sh as there's not much point nowadays to forcing 
execution of that ancient non-POSIX shell when configuring Emacs.
