I don't think the manual page at http://www.mysql.com/doc/S/o/Solaris.html
is much help here.  It mentions setting 

ac_cv_sys_restartable_syscalls=${ac_cv_sys_restartable_syscalls='no'}

in your config.cache in case of a particular error, not the one reported
here.  I think I remember reading somewhere that configure was updated at
some point to take care of this, but I couldn't find it mentioned in the
Change Log, so maybe that's just my imagination.  In any case, configure
took care of this for me in 3.23.44.

There is also a comment at the bottom of the page which says "Solaris 8
doesn't seem to have an automatic LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable
defined..."  This could also be said of Solaris 2.6 and 7, and seems
unlikely to be relevant, since the problem only occurs on 8.  
LD_LIBRARY_PATH isn't the Solaris way of doing things.
