You're probably seeing what's a well-known problem with Solaris using
GNU-type configure and Makefile generation.  Easy to fix.

The cc that some makefile is finding is probably /usr/ucb/cc in the 
Solaris install. That is a stub that does nothing.  Rename it to cc.bsd.

On a Solaris site, you have to set up PATH as a post-install operation.
Most Solaris admins have a post-install script for doing this.  

Do a check, using the which command.  which gcc should point to the path
where the gcc you want to use is located, and do a version check.   

Then do a which cc.  Unless you have Studio 11 installed, you should get
a "not found" return.  The Studio 11 compiler resources are in
/opt/SUNWspro/bin if they are installed.  

You may have to locate the offending Makefile or rerun configure to
recover, but try make install first, after assuring that nothing can
find /usr/ucb/cc.
